i stumbled on a cz safari mag, nib, never fired...
standard safai mag...
but...
chambered in 300win mag...on the full sized action

i am a big fan of the cz's,
how rare or common are these?

can it be the ultimate hunting rifle?

what are the sights like? Is it possibly the Battue model? They aren't commonly stocked in stores, but aren't hard to get if you ask to order one... I very much liked the Battue sights; thought of buying one that sat at my local shop for a long time (I moved away, it's probably still there!)

I had ZKK 602 in this caliber. Ask yourself following question: 'Do I really want to carry around 9.5lb rifle in .300WinMag.' I was happy to get rid of that crowbar!

If you want nice .300Mag why not wait for limited ed. Ruger No. 1 in caliber .300H&H. I have handled nice .375 Ruger No. 1 'Lion Slayer' or whatever it's called. Nice handling "7.5 lb pounder".

it is the safari mag model...as stated.

do i really want a 300 tha theavy,...not really.
but what i do want is a light and heavy cal rifle that are as similar as possible....

can this be re-bored to 338? or would this require a rebarrel?

"Safari Magnum" isn't a model.

As noted, it could be an UHR or a Battue, or one of the more plain-jane .300WM's out there.

Don't think it's a Safari Classic Series just because "Safari Magnum" is stamped on the receiver. Heck, my .416 Rigby has "Safari Classic" (not Magnum) stamped on the receiver, yet it is not a true SC - doesn't have all the upgrades even though it does have a very nice wood stock.
