The new CZ American Safari 375 H&H for $650 or

a Winchester model 70 Super Express 375 H&H with Monte Carlo stock for $875-$900 stock is lovely.


Thanks,

Wayne

I would take the cz 550 over the m70, despite what others say it is not the best thing out there.

Had both, agree with PC, if it's the push-feed as it sounds it is, now no contest.

Ok, the Winchester is pushfeed is the CZ CRF. If not what does that leave. I am only planning on using this gun this year on the larger plains game and in a 2006 a buff. So I don't want or need an expensive gun.

The CZ is CRF but it also has a triggerblock safety and that, IMO, is a serious no-no. It can be converted to side-swing safety but it will cost you over $200 for parts and labor. Once that is done, there isn't a sweeter bigbore out there for the money. On the other hand, I suspect that you can get a ready-to-go new M70 for the price of the reworked CZ. In either case, you will want to have it glass bedded and the buttstock cut-and-padded to fit you. I seriously doubt that there is a factory rifle made that is ready to use right out of the box.

Yes! I held one today in my favorite gun store. The American stock was much favorable to that ugly humpback stock, both in service and looks. It was a .375 H&H.

OldSarge,
What do you see wrong with the trigger block safty on the CZ?

I have been told that the new American stock has about 5 lbs too much wood on it, not sleek and trim?? Have not seen one as yet...
