Hi all,

can anyone tell me; are there any rifle manufacturers that still offer the 300 H&H Magnum as a factory chambering?

Cheers

There's a limited edition Ruger #1 in .300 H&H coming out as one of a 5 rifle series through Lipsey's.

Steyr-Mannlichers are still around in .300 H&H. I've owned two, and both were tack drivers!

my understanding is that these CZ Safari Classic rifles are imported into the USA from the Czech Republic, and are then rechambered there.

Hence, finding one in South Africa could be a problem.

Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Cheers.

Sadly I think that you are correct. They are not available in the UK according to Edgar Brothers the British importer/agent.

They are custom order here in the US, and cost accordingly. There's a 2 to 4 month waiting period, and nearly twice the cost. I think CZ-USA orders the barreled action from Europe, but that's just my guess. It's probably up to the importer whether or not it's available.

An inquiry of CZ-Europe may be worthwhile.

I made an inquiry about how to get one. And they called me back on it. You go to your local dealer and order one and it takes about 12 weeks. I am going to Order one, at least they chamber for 300 H+H and I have to say the rifle has very nice lines.

I received mine in about 5 or 6 days. Just went to my favorite local shop and asked if he could order it; the distributor he uses had one in stock. Would have been only about 3 days but it took them 2 to process the order and ship it.

The SC are a little more expensive, but you get a number of upgrades (wood, barrel band, bedding, etc...). I'm pretty happy with mine.

You are fortunate. It's difficult to understand a distributor having a rifle for which ammunition is generally unavailable.

My M-70 is a 300 H&H, ooops I bought it in 1940 something an paid $106 for it new!! clap

You can still pick one up in the gun digest for about $1200, money well spent and if you ever want to sell it, you will make a profit, not so with a new gun...Long live the pre 64,,, wave

My hunting partner has a Remington 700 grade II custom in 300 H & H. It has a medium heavy barrel with a beautiful piece of wood using their classic pattern with hand checkering.

I was willed a pre-64 in 300 H&H, made in the same year I was born, 55. The long barrel is a bit different from those that I own that are from 84 or so but it handles nice and is very accurate. I bought a 100 rounds of new brass for it a couple of years ago that along with the four boxes of 55 to 57 vintage silvetips should keep me shooting till I pass it down. If you an find one at a decent price the pre 64 in 300 H&H is a classic rifle in a classic round. I also owna CZ 550 in 9.3X62 a very nice rifle for the money. I would whole heartedly recommended a CZ for the money, again a classic 98 action that is well made.
