Greetings Tarata,
Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.
The CZ 550 Standard or Magnum either one, are excellent rifles.
There is no doubt that you will be happy with yours.
I have formerly owned several of them in various calibers.
Evidently I was lucky, because all of them worked perfectly, except the .500 Jeffery.
But, after a professional Gunsmith hand filed the rails and milled off a slight bit of metal from the follower, voila it then fed like a prize hog.
And the Speer 235 grain semi-spitzer is a very underrated projectile, a bit tougher than one might think just looking at it before trying it.
I have shot several both, black tail deer and caribou with that one and it always exited with a golf ball size hole.
Looks like you have your Safari company picked out and I predict you will have a wonderful time in Africa.
Please take many pictures for the rest of us here in the forum to enjoy.
Cheers,
Velo Dog.
