CZ 550 .416 Rigby RAFFLE

Anyone imported a firearm from the US in Canada lately?

I am starting my research for services to get this across the border legally. Apparently, I could give it to an asylum seeker and get it across quickly, but....

Contact irunguns. When I bought my 375 they brought it across for me. They are out of Sherwood park
 
Wayne, you should really test out the peregrine bullets in that. I love them for the .375 H&H
I have them loaded up in solids and softs for my 416 rigby, happy so far...

Come on out to Zambia @BRICKBURN... i know a place or two you can test your new best caliber :whistle::D
 
Thanks Aaron and I'll have to work on that Pete.
 
The next question is what are you going to be using it on.....
A free gun could mean an expensive safari!

I like to test the big calibers out on Ruffed Grouse first. They tend to be tough and require more accuracy than the big stuff. It is a great test. If you can hit the grouse neck at 100 yards, then I think you can safely go after the less dangerous stuff with confidence.

I love this site. You are the man @Aaron Nietfeld

Contacted them and they are by far the best I have found.
All online forms and they do not want an arm and a leg to do paperwork.
Only thing that sucks is they have a VOIP phone. (quality sucks)

They can have it to my door by May 1 if all the paperwork is in by April 15.
 
Jerome was rolling on the floor when he pointed it out to me. Bloody internet. :)
Congratulations Wayne!

I had a really good laugh last night as Wayne did not even notice that the erase mark he left behind looked suspiciously like a "wiener" as @ArmyGrunt so aptly called it... I guess Wayne was too "excited" about winning the rifle to notice... ;)


Here for all to enjoy, no need to wait for April Fools!

When he sent me the pic of it I thought he was subliminally showing how excited he was about winning! Showed it to my wife and she had a lot of questions about the type of guys on this site! Gotta give the poor guy a break though, he was pretty sick yesterday
 
Thanks for the back up Albert.

I am already planning my revenge......

Just could not resist! :E Big Grin:
 
OK guys so the moment you have all been waiting for is here. Things kind of fell apart today trying to get this done so instead of a video we ended up doing a live random number generator to pick. The winning number is.......

Thanks to all that paricipated! Congrats on the win Wayne!

Wait... Wayne won???

  1. Wayne is really good with computers
  2. A random number generator from a computer was used
  3. I've seen Wayne post in threads with Russians, which means be must be talking to them
  4. That's pretty strong proof the Russians are involved in this and changed the outcome of the raffle
Did we learn nothing from the US election?????? :E Excited::E Frightened:


:A Outta:

I found this one buried in my hunting Album.
Putin was pretty helpful on a Kudu hunt once.

Brain and Wayne do rhyme, but I'm inclined to think he's more like Pinkie at heart

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
