Can the CZ 589 Stopper 458 Win Mag over under be converted to 450 nitro 3 1/4"??? they have been converted to Lott and I was wondering why not the 450 3 1/4"??? It should clean up the chamber but what about the extractors ect??? Thanks! 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

because ... there's NO IMPROVEMENT for a 450 3 1/4 over a 458 winmag, that a lott doesn't provide at 20% of the cost opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

It is my understanding is that it is done all the time. Obviously the extractors/ejectors have to be cut for the 450 case head. ------------------------------- Will / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Will its not, in fact, can't be done "all the time" .. there are SEVEN of them in the states. I have handled 4 of them. 1 was converted to a lott (rob) one is still a 458, but thinking about it (mike) and two others i only got to handle, but are still 458. the other 3 are outside of my experience, but i saw one on gunbroker the other day still in 458 win ... what IS done, with small freqency, is converting 45/70 sxs pedersoli kodiaks to 450 ne opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

I think Will meant that .458WM doubles, both SxS and O/U, that have been conveted to one of the nitro express rounds seem to show up regularly, not that the CZ in particular does. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Might be.. sure, there's some 45/70 peds being turned into 450 NE... but none of that has any bearing on the CZ ou 458 winmag  opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

What is different about the CZ O/U than the other O/Us that have been converted? You have the benefit of having seen one and I have not. Does BS have a new O/U to convert, or is this a hypothetical exercise? From Champlin's site (Franz Sodia .458 O/U):
Maybe BS can call them or email and ask their opinion if no one here has the answer he needs. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||
