"Improved" CZ 550 .416 Rigby:
- Gentry 3 position true firing pin-blocking safety;
- New England Custom Gun 5/32 white bead front sight;
- Bell & Carlson Medalist kevlar & aramid stock with full length aluminum bedding block and pillars;
- smoothed-up action (see specifics at https://www.africahunting.com/threads/sako-85-or-cz.46282/).
- Schmidt & Bender scope 1 1/4-4x20 30 mm tube;
- Alaska Arms QD mount.
- iron sights regulated for 25 m/yd; scope sighted for 50 m/yd and 100 m/yd zero, -6" @ 200 m/yd with 400 gr TSX or A Frame (they shoot to about the same point of impact in my rifle);
- capacity - let me share a little secret - the Bell & Carlson stock is ever so slightly deeper than the factory wood stock, and it allows the action to close comfortably on 4 rounds in the magazine, which the factory stock does not. This makes it a 4+1 gun instead of a 3+1.
Ideally, the only thing missing is a barrel band front sling swivel mount, but - let me share another little secret - it is less necessary these days as the forearm on most stocks is much longer than the forearms were on the British rifle of the golden days, and this actually puts the stud far enough of the hand. Still, sooner or later I am going to put one on, I guess, if only for the sake of tradition LOL
