Certainly a great cartridge. I have always been fascinated by it, so much so I bought a CZ550 chambered for it. Un-shootable to start with as the stock was totally wrong but once the stock was completely reshaped it is a beauty to shoot. Stout recoil for sure but easily handled. Great ballistics and very flat shooting especially considering the size of the projectile. I hope to use it on Buffalo later this year if all goes according to plan.

Your rifle looks great and uses what is arguably the best action for that cartridge. The barrel profile is quite close to the original and looks good as does the stock. Well done.


Matt.
