cz 602 z 458 win mag

I just could not help my self, I came on a new 602 z with single set trigger in 458 win mag
for 550.00 tax included. Now time to research did I get a good deal? I am going to bed it before fireing it add a little weight. What else do I need to know about it.

Yes, you got a good deal!

The mag box is long in them... go ahead and punch it out to 458 lott. Bed it, cross-bolt it, have the action slicked up and shoot it for the rest of your life.

You got a great deal, and if it has the peep sight, an amazing one.

bed it... it's 20 years old and lightly WAY dry from unuse

the safety will drive you nts, pull BACK to safe

You got a good deal. Most folks here will insist you rechamber it to the Lott. I don't think it is necessary if it feeds well but it is simple to do and really doesn't detract any either. The original stocks were a bit skimpy for full house 458 Loads, especially Lotts, so your idea of bedding it first is a good one.
It should be useful as it is and with another $500-$600 wisely spent you can have a serious, no-nonsense, dangerous game rifle.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

I think you got a terrible deal. Just look, the safety is backwards. You'll never ever get used to that. Why it is just like cocking the hammer of your old wincheser 94 or marlin 30-30. You can never figure out how to do that! Just because I am a nice guy I will take it off your hands for what you paid in one heart beat.

If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

You are very kind, but it would only help me if you took the 30-06 with the Kassel optic scope I bought at the last gun show that is just like it. I had to give $400.00 for it. I hate to break up a pair. I know it too much to ask.
3 years ago i could not spell big bore, now there is a 375 H&H and a 416 rem mag in the safe. I am going to start my wife with cast bullets on this one. If she likes it will be easier to get her to agree to a 3 rd mortage for that 470 nitro side by side.

If you feel you really have to get rid of that 30.06 just feel free to let me know. I can help you out of any difficulty in that regard!

Dr selling you the 06 would get me in a hell of a lot of trouble. My wife shot a zebra and a gemsbuck last year with one just like it. That rifle had a Smith&Binder scope on it. I told her I bought the 06 for her just in case we got to go back to africa,now I have to ask to shoot it. The best laid plans of mice and men----
