[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3021656, member: 109862"] The 450 I haven’t got in my hands yet. Still need to get into the city to pick it up, can’t wait! It’s the second photo, as supplied by the auction house I bought it from. A Winchester model 70 safari express originally a 458 Winnie rechambered (that particular m70 was offered in .375 Hh, 416 rem, and 458 win mag, and all were full length magnum actions regardless of the 458 win mag being a shortie so the longer ackley isn’t a problem) and shortened up. 21 inch barrel plus a muzzle brake. The .358 is in the middle of the pic of three rifles. It is a BRNO ZG47 (argued by some to be the finest iteration of the Mauser M98 type action ever made, certainly a contender for that title) - very similar to the later CZ550. I have no idea what this action was initially paired with as far as barrel, as it’s been rebarreled to .358 Norma magnum. The action itself says “ZG47, made in Czechoslovakia, 1956” the barrel is a heavy pig of a thing that I might shorten in the future (or not), 27.75 inches and no taper, a straight pipe and pretty thick. But it doesn’t kick much at all as it has some weight to it. Disregard the skulking hounds in the background 🤣 [/QUOTE]
