Got my first big bore rifle, interested in opinions / advice
18/09/09 05:53 PM

G’day all,

This is my first post as I am new to Big Bore so forgive my long winded post.

Just after some opinions and or advise from the forum on my first big bore rifle.

Over the past year I have purchased the bits and pieces for a DG rifle being a brand new CZ550 Safari Magnum in 375H&H and I have only fired about 25 – 30 rounds to basically break it in. It is now topped with Burris rings and a Leupold VXIII 1.5-5x20 with German #4 reticle.

Recently, as in just today, I have bought a McMillan composite stock via the internet from a private sell in another state and have not received it yet so I do not actually know all the details of it (Silly some may say but it appears to be a bargain that I feared may likely be lost if time was wasted).
The details I know are the stock has never had a rifle fitted whatsoever, it is a moulded in ripple pattern 60% light tan 25% woodland beige 15%light grey, 14” length of pull, 1” recoil pad. That is about all I know.
The seller said he bought this about 9 months ago but has now sold his CZ and several others to build a new custom hence no need for this stock.
My brief research on McMillan it seems to source one myself from a dealer hear in Australia would not leave me with a hell of a lot of change from $1000 AUD, I got this one for $550AUD A good deal? I really don’t know…

Some opinions I would be interested in are.

What do people think of the CZ550 Safari?
Is my choice of calibre a good one as an entry level DG (I am small framed and did not want to pound myself)?
What do people think of the German #4 reticle?
Can I go wrong with a McMillan stock?
Should I get it bedded or pillared or both?

Any other advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
