I almost bought a Remington 700 375 H&H used from their custom shop (which was a beautiful gun and I like Remington 700s) for $1000. The reasons I bought my CZ Safari Classic instead were in order:

1. Controlled Round Feed. I read a long detailed post from Ganyana about the Zimbabwe professional hunter's test and how the rifle's fared there. CZs due to both their cost and their reliablity were by far the most popular. Many other rifles, Winchesters, Remingtons, Weatherby's and Rugers didn't fare as well. In this test rapid, accurate multiple shot strings have to be fired.

2. It has a magnum mauser-variant action. In case I ever want to rebarrel to something really big (505 Gibbs, 500 A-Square) I can.

3. Cost. I have many custom touches on my rifle (all functional) and still am about the same price as an out of the box Ruger RSM.

I'm very happy with my rifle. I wouldn't trade it for a pre-64 Winchester (I know that puts me on the lunatic fringe) or a non-magnum 98 Mauser action. I can't afford a magnum Mauser 98 based rifle so that puts it out of range for me.

Regards,
Chuck
