CZ has their own line of Safari Classics in 500 Jeffrey and 505 Gibbs. I have the 505. I doubt too many people have either of them so it would definitely be different.

CZ Safari Classic in 505 Gibbs with 600 grainers. That was quite a wakeup call!

I bought one about a year ago. It was a jam-o-matic so I sent it back to the factory. They replaced the bolt and barrel. It works much better now, but I still haven't gotten through a session without at least one jam or stovepipe. It might be part magazines also, but I have one of the...

rc135: Regarding your question about the bullet weights for the 454 Casull, factory loads go up to 360 grains (Corbon, Buffalo Bore, Grizzly) and some 320, 335 grains as well. The 45-70 can go from 300- 540 gr in factory loads. I do not reload so maybe reloaders can get even more. The...

Does anyone have one of these guns? One at a gunshop is slowly but surely calling to me. :D It is a 10" barrel. I had the chance to hold it a few weeks ago and it is definitely bulky, but I would assume for the round's main purpose (long-range shooting), that is a good thing. I've been...

I have noticed with many rifle calibers that as the calibers increase, the loaded ammunition weights for them do not. 3 of them come to mind: 348 Winchester, 350 Remington Magnum, and 375 Winchester. I have all of these guns and all of them have 200 grain loads. At one time, they also had...

I have a Serbu 50 BMG and I am thinking of replacing the scope with some kind of iron sight or holographic sight. I know these guns are meant to be shot from very far away, but I just cannot see myself shooting that far. I wanted this primarily because of its power and penetration. So, is...

Since Central PA got spared the worst of the snow storm the rest of the East Coast got, I took the 11-87 out for a test drive today. Distance was 25 yds and I used silhouette targets. Slugs: I fired 15 rounds each of Remington 2 3/4" Sluggers, Brenneke 2 3/4" Low Recoil, and Brenneke 3"...

I just purchased an 11-87 Police last week. It cost $750 (before taxes and background check). Mine has the rifle sights, parkerized finish, 18 1/2" barrel, and 7 round capacity (6+1). I went in yesterday and the owner said he wanted to get another one, but could not find one. Apparently...

I am intrigued by these guns mainly in 455 Webley. I noticed on handling one that the cylinder rotates freely even when it is closed. The shop owner said that is normal for them as they only lock up when the gun is cocked. Is that true? If so, what happens if after firing a shot, you may...

I had heard a little of these, but never saw one until last week when the gun shop was redoing their carpeting and moving things around so I got to go look behind the counter and back rooms. What is the typical price range of these things? Are they reliable? How difficult or easy are they to...

I picked one of these up today and have a few questions: Is it safe to keep the magazine fully loaded or will that damage the springs? Should I just download by 1 or 2 rounds? My local gunshop has a lot of Remington Reduced Recoil Buckshot. I've heard that autoloaders like this one may...

Unfortunately, I am one of the few that has a problem with my STG58. It would not reliably cycle any ammo no matter how far I adjusted the gas setting. I could get a magazine to work and think I solved the problem only to have the next one jam. Often times, the first round (the one I would...

I'm planning on getting a 629 4" in 44 Magnum and a 500 S&W 4" version. I don't reload so will be using factory ammunition. Will they hold up to heavy factory loads like a Ruger will? For the 629, I will probably shoot mostly 240 grain loads. For the 500, it will probably get a steady diet...

re: High Power Magnum revolvers Let's go above the 44 Magnum. Has there ever been any recorded shootings of a person with a 454 Casull or 475 Linebaugh? I would think a 400-420 grain bullet from the Linebaugh would really put someone's lights out permanently. Would either of these rounds...

I treated myself to an early Christmas present today. I bought a Marlin Super Goose 10. It is a 10-gauge bolt-action shotgun with a 34" barrel and detachable magazine. I assume they are no longer made. Does anyone have any experience with them? How many rounds does the magazine hold? I...

Would someone explain what exactly is sectional density? I hear of it frequently but never really understood it. I always thought caliber and weight were the keys to penetration?

I have one of the NEF 10 gauge single shots. It does recoil much like a big safari rifle cartridge. I have no real use for it, but the holes it makes dwarfs a 458 Winchester Magnum. I just got a few boxes of 3 1/2" 1 3/4" slugs for my bruising pleasure! Just out of curiosity, how would a...

I don't see a lot of difference between the stocks, but mine is pretty straight. I did take it to the range today and got rained out after 20 rounds. I cranked the gas to highest setting and it did not eject spent rounds until I set it at 3. And, even at the highest setting, it still battered...

The thread about the 30-30 and armored vest penetration made me think about how much armor it would take to stop a 375 H&H, 416 Rigby, or 458 Win Mag or Lott. Will these calibers penetrate any armored vest currently available or vehicles if necessary?
