CZ, no question.

BTW, anybody know how long the magazines are in the new M70 magnums? Will a Lott loaded normally fit?

Winchester makes a M70 crf in 458Lott, Buds has both and the price is about the same I have M70s in all the WSM and WSSM cals but the 7mmWSM only because its so close to the 270WSM and they are all very accurate and I have one CZ527 in 7.62by39mm that's not so much, that has me concerned I'm not sure if its the cartridge or the gun. I like the CZ and I am leaning that way but concerned.

I love the 527 rifles and own several with the best 22 Hornet accuracy buy far.. Still I agree with Lloyd, I'd go with the M70.

Just looking on the Winchester web site, I don't see any 458 Lott rifles. They list the Safari Express in 416 Rem mag, 375 H&H, and 458 Win Mag.

Of course you could rechamber the 458 into a Lott, but I would take a long hard look at the length of the magazine box before I did that.

Meanwhile the CZ holds 4 in the box, has plenty room for big bullets, and works great. I do concede that the stocks are way too fat though. Slimming down the stocker or installing a McMillan 550 stock on them really helps the handling.
