Who did the safety modification on your CZ?
Straight bolt handle....Safety to 3 position...that looks like a Wayne job to me.

It took me less than 20 seconds to locate some .375 Ruger ammo in South Africa. And only about $100 USD.

I will look at a used CZ 550 in 375 HH Monday. Not sure yet which exact model. What do I need to watch out for in used CZ 550? I've heard they sometimes have trouble cycling ammo, or is that just in bigger calibers? I've heard of cracked stocks, especially around the wrist.
Down to decision btwn Ruger 375 Guide or Alaskan w/ Hogue stock
or the used CZ 550 HH.
Same source said 375 HH is easier to hand load.
I heard from a good source that 375 Ruger can be finicky to handload, and that many hand loads have proven inconsistent due to bullet depth and other issues.
Old British "stalking pattern" rifle. That really changes the whole look and feel of that rifle. Nice.I was walking thru a gun show in my wife's hometown when I stopped at a table with the usual .22 semi auto/.30-30 lever/12 ga fare and noticed the bottom rifle of this pair:
A Whitworth in .375 H&H that someone had shortened the forearm and added a receiver sight. In the back of my head I heard one of the trackers from our last trip to RSA say " Kudu". After asking I picked it up and heard "eeLaand". It followed me home. So far it's made a wonderful white tail rifle.
The Whitworths haven't been made in years but appear occasionally and are real sleepers. You can't have mine.
Sometimes the rifle finds you.
Hmmm....what I see is an inefficient cartridge design from the last century beside the improvement that eclipsed it.Mmmmm.... just look at the beautiful bottleneck H&H cartridge, the belle of the ball, showing that poor Ruger as the homely lass she is.
