Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

The rifle that got me excited again about the .458 WinMag
after "decades of denial" fueled by the lunatic ravings of
exalted Gun Guru Ross Seyfried:





The pristine .458 WinMag take-off barrel resulted from the "decades of denial."
Bought that CZ 550 Magnum just to re-barrel it to some feral wildcat.

Not all goes well, with those efforts to make lemonade from a lemon,
to undo the violation of a .458 WinMag.
I had another .458 WinMag that I thought was good after I had a .458 Lott reamer run into it,
during the "decades of denial."
I was hoping it might be salvageable by shortening by 0.3" at the breach.
Alas, the relief cut required to get the barrel off messed that up.
It still took 2400 ft-lbs of torque to unscrew the barrel,
as unbeknowst it had been epoxied into the action at the CZ factory.
I think the Czechs discovered J-B Weld long ago.
