    CZ in 300 H&H Pricing??

    I thought as much, price wise. It was at $5000 when I first started watching it, then it has been re-listed several times at $4500.

    CZ in 300 H&H Pricing??

    IS this a high or normal price for a CZ 550 Safari Classic in 300 H&H? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1031228613 Does anyone have one in 300 H&H or 300 Win Mag? Specifically, this style with barrel band, ebony fore end etc. What do you think of them? I have it in my head that I want a 300 H&H...

    CZ 550 Magnum Action

    This is an interesting offer! AHR is selling CZ550 actions for $1000 and another $500 for the 3 pos safety and single stage trigger. Thats $1500, but this one is almost ready to go for a few hundred more. Good deal!

    375 Safari Express English style stock

    Weird that I was just searching the web for a stock like that for my Model 70, or for someone who can make one or modify the existing. Thinking RJ Renner.

    quarter rib, banded sling swivel and banded front sight kit interest

    Hmmm...once I have one (if?) I will do the measurements haha. Quarter ribs with express sights just make a rifle!

    quarter rib, banded sling swivel and banded front sight kit interest

    I am not a gunsmith, but I was wondering if a quarter rib could be made and installed on Ruger Hawkeye African, such that is would at least resemble the much better M77 MKII Express.

    Any new rifles announced at this year's DSC / SCI?

    I'm not sure if the Rigby Shikari was unveiled at DSC or it had been prior to that.
  10. Captain Munro

    Any new rifles announced at this year's DSC / SCI?

    They don't have it up on their website yet. I only say semi traditional because of the pic rails on the bridge of the receiver, the rest is good. But they are tentatively more expensive than a Top of the Line Parkwest Arms model.

    Any new rifles announced at this year's DSC / SCI?

    Snowy Mountains Rifles have a semi traditional African safari style rifle. They just introduced it at DSC.

    I think then One in 22 would be neat for practice, but the hornet is expensive relatively speaking.

    CZ550 vs Ruger Hawkeye African in 416?

    Send me one too haha
  16. Captain Munro

    CZ550 vs Ruger Hawkeye African in 416?

    I only am aware of this from other people's reports on them, mostly trustworthy reports...but a grain of salt can be taken with them haha. I thought about a Ruger African in 300 win mag, but may save up for a RUger Safari Express instead.

    CZ550 vs Ruger Hawkeye African in 416?

    Can the CZ 416 Rigby hold 4 in the magazine? I know 416 Ruger is only 3 and I hear the stocks are prone to cracking.

    I'd like to see the Model 1999 PH model return with a magnum length action. Or for them to just sell the action alone.

    Ruger did not even bring there Hawkeye African or Guide gun models to DSC. I'm not holding my breath for them either. Far cry from the days of the Ruger RSM.

    What could you just not resist at DSC?

    I somehow missed their booth entirely! Shame, I like there hats!

    What do you think of the new Rigby Shikari?

    They are fine rifles, but Rigby would not even acknowledge my presence at their DSC booth (both years I went). They must know I am poor haha. If I should ever strike it rich, I will stick with Heym and Parkwest. They were very happy to chat with me, even though I was not a buyer.
  31. Captain Munro

    What could you just not resist at DSC?

    Yes, I hung out there for a while talking to them. They had 1 89B on display.

    Heym 89B...Heym Martini Express...ParkWest Arms SD76 Dark Continent...oh wait, that was just me dreaming.

    Free Booze and Food! January 11th 2024

    Is it too late to join up? I don't really know anyone, so I am free that night, and this could be a good opportunity. I am flying in on the 11th, get in around 1500hrs, and staying at the Magnolia. I won't have a car though, so if anyone is going from that area, I would have to beg for a ride!

    Ruger at DSC Convention?

    Damn, I must of missed them when I was there. I got my hopes up I suppose. I was hoping for a Ruger Hawkeye African Supergrade haha, aka the reborn Ruger Safari Express.
  44. Captain Munro

    Ruger at DSC Convention?

    Does Ruger usually have a booth at DSC? I see them on the map, but I don't remember them being there in 2022. I just wondered if it was normal or if they may be releasing something new that is relevant to their African line. When I talked to Ruger on the phone, I asked them about future plans...

    You guys with Ruger Africans in .275 Rigby take notice of this!!

    Wow! I was watching that bid upwards, but last time I checked it, the price was just north of $2k. That is insane for a Ruger African. If it was an M77 Express I would not be surprised. Maybe Ruger should take note.

    Ruger Hawkeye African .375 Ruger as Dangerous Game rifle?

    Thanks, @ChrisG. I thought it was a handy rifle though, little front heavy, but pointed fairly well. A little gunsmithing could smooth out some of the grit in the action.

    Ruger Hawkeye African .375 Ruger as Dangerous Game rifle?

    Is the safety lever polymer or just light metal on the African? Held one the other day and it felt cheap (the lever).
