My first 470 Mbogo was on a 1917 Enfield action and this one is on a CZ550. The barrel is a Pac-Nor and uses a profile I designed for DGR's. There is a barrel mounted recoil lug located directly under the rear sight base and two crossbolts. The action is also steel bedded. The sights are NECG. The rifle weighs 12lbs and has three mercury recoil reducers in the buttstock and balances right under the front ring. I did all the gunsmithing including threading, chambering, headspacing , bolt and feed rail modification. The stock came semi-inletted from 470 MBOGO himself( I got him to make two), but I did all the shaping/ contouring and fitting to the action as well as the finish.. Blueing was homebrew hot tank Oxenate #7. Checkering was done by AHR as ED has a lady who is much much better at checkering than I. The rifle will shoot sub MOA at 100 yrds, and holds three down and one in the pipe. Feeding and ejection are flawless! The 470 MBOGO is a really powerfull cartridge! Penetration is phenomenal and accuracy second to none. The recoil of this rifle at full tilt boogie is in a word "stout", but manageable. I plan to use it on my next African Safari! Used with Bridger solids. |
