.550 magnum caliber?

Still do. Planing on building 2 on cz 550, 416 Rigby action. Tried the ammo in the action. Functions perfectly. Now need to get them barreled as I already have stocks for them with recoil reducers.
Matter of time getting to it.

Good deal, how are you?
 
I’m not giving you a hard time, l just don’t think the 550 would be my first choice for deer. Just saying.
Me either. :-). To quote Robin Williams character in Good Will Hunting, “I was being ironical.” Actually, just being a smart ass. . . no irony involved.
 
Getting better every day. Still have to wait for 4 more week before I come out of the cervical collar and 8lb limit for handling anything.

Good to hear.
 
Sinister Looking Cartridge, Interesting read.

It would be a good rifle if you want your deer pre-ground for sausage or hamburger!
 
Krish, I have more concerns with my R shoulder after multiple surgeries than my C3-C4 fusion; Take care, and follow the Doc's and Physio's instructions.

Hey Krish....glad to hear you are building a 550 Magnum. I am as well....using a Granite Mountain Arms African Magnum action and Pacnor 1-20" twist barrel. Already have the dies and projectiles from Hawk and Cutting Edge. Keep us updated on your build!

Nice to hear from you. Will contact you soon.

I guess one could build this rifle in a single shot as there aren't any videos of anyone in a hurry to shoot round two. Not even the few that manage it well.

I started the process to build one 3 years ago. I procured the dies and the action but it hasnt proceeded any further. If only we could buy at auction in the US.
 
One in the upcoming Rock Island auction
It’s a wonderful thing to post a rare gun in an upcoming auction, we certainly don’t want it to go unnoticed because possibly not enough people have seen it? It’s important to maximize the number of folks aware of it so we can pit more AH members and whoever else against one another in order for it to hammer at a maximum bid price, would be a shame if it went unnoticed by some and went for considerably less, wouldn’t want that to happen now would we? Thanks.

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.
