It shoots quite well and is highly accurate, although not as refined as a Whitworth. It compares to my MK X favorably. The rifle is a lot of gun for the bucks. I wish I could keep it...      | ||

l2s. Why aren't you keeping the 458? To my eye it looks to be a good functional rifle. I wouldn't pass it on if it were mine. | |||

Why no keep? You need to chop off a few inches of that barrel and upgrade the open sights, and barrel band. | |||

Great looking rifle. I actually just ordered one to replace my CZ. Can't wait to get my grubby paws on it. I'm going to be setting mine up with a peep, a scout scope, and replacing the front sight with a gold bead. After that I'm just going to shoot the crap out of it. I too am curious why your passing it along. NHbwana | |||

After sending off payment for another rifle the other day, I was called by UC Davis Cancer Center to get down there this Thursday. It won't be for free...  I have a Rem 721 30-06 and a Wby MK V matt finish in a B&C camo stock with an extra Wby factory walnut stock for sale, too. I ran out of double rifles and drillings to sell last year about this time...went to the same place, but I'm looking at grass from the top, down.  | |||

I contacted Remington last year about bringing in lefties and they said that they have "no plans for importing left handed rifles". I then contacted KBI (Charles Daly) and asked if they could import the lefties and they said that Remington owned the rights to import them but they (Rem) had decided not to.

30 cal, Its a simple Leupold VariX II 1-4 in Loopy QD mounts, about perfect for this rifle, IMO. | |||

What is its weight, and how's the recoil? How would you compare it to the RSM or the CZ550? | |||
|

I'm guessing 9 1/2 pounds, scoped, and the recoil is not an issue. It seems to have a well designed stock in that respect. It shoots a lot softer than the light Savage SS/SYN 375 I just got. My 416's were a lot more punishing, even the RSMs with their weight. 458 Win has never seemed a real heavy recoil round. IMO. | |||

Anybody get me a left-handed 798,458, just like the one pictured, I'll gladly trade a brand new left-handed Ruger Hawkeye in 375 Ruger for it.   Roger QSL | |||

how is the safety on that rifle? at my local gun store they had a .30-06 (the original, not remington)and it felt very rough and hard. do you think(or tried) its possible to smoothing it up? i've been thinking of getting one in .375H&H | |||

Steffen, I've got a older Zastava - the action & rifles are marketed with the "Luger" name here in Germany. Originally pretty rough, but yes; if you know what you are about - they can be slicked up to become a very servicable & accurate rifle without too much elbow grease. Cheers, Number 10 | |||
