    CZ550 MAGNUM, 458WM Situation

    I had to call CZ on mine to make sure it was factory done because as you can see from the picture the 458 Lott stamp is more crude and aftermarket than the 458wm. But, they assured me it left the factory that way. Is it possible this is one that slipped by QC? Yes. I would get CZ the serial...

    Best calibre for Giraffe

    I also shot a very old bull with a 470NE from 50-75 yards and it swallowed two shots with ease. 375h&h + is highly recommended.

    The .257 Roberts thread

    If it wasn't for the target blocks it would be almost mint. The Remington 30 is my favorite stamping on any reciever. I have a few different varieties.

    The .257 Roberts thread

    I picked up a Ruger 77 Ultralight in 257 Roberts a few years ago, such a sweet shooter. Classic cartridge, but hard to come by. Also have one in a Remington 30s Deluxe. I've taken many deer and hogs with the Ruger.

    7mm/08 for Plains Game? Good or Bad?

    My son shot zebra, 2 wildebeest, red hartebeest, impala, blesbok, axis, many deer, black buck, and more with one shot 7mm-08. In Africa he shoots Barnes ttsx 120gr and in the US 140gr Nosler BT. It's a beautiful cartridge.

    Flat skins

    It took 6 months for my giraffe back skin to lose its creases. May just need to wait it out, which is the simplest and safest route.

    Do you use a 7mm STW in Africa?

    I have not, but a good friend who has hunted Africa 30 times always takes his 7mm STW and swears by it. I have killed N.A. big game with mine, but never took it to Africa.

    Planning my 2nd trip back to South Africa

    We ended up just sending some money to our PH and had him buy us a few suppressors to keep in SA. For the few hundred dollars each it was worth it for piece of mind. As mentioned before, it only takes one stupid TSA agent to mess up your trip. Now when we go back they are just in our box along...

    Flat skins

    I have found that by just laying them out, and maybe putting some weight on them, the creases and folds come out.
