CZ 550 .416 Rigby RAFFLE

I have no clue about the mail services and what inspections would have to take place.
I come back across with items myself all the time.
I hope to have a friend traveling back across to be a Mule in the near future.
Once I find another reasonably priced source I'll be working on the purchase.
Thank you for the implied offer of assistance.

Check out reloadinginternational.com. He will import to Canada
 
The company processes and ships one per month and I missed the March cut off date by two days. :E Crying:
I will be waiting until mid May for delivery of my rifle.:A Whistle:

I guess I'll have some more time to acquire brass.
 
Sorry Wayne, I tried to get there as quick as I could. I definitely know what you are feeling, I'd be pretty upset if it were me. I don't do well with waiting!

Al, it had nothing to do with you. They just had a cut off date and that is something you just have to accept.
After all, this was not exactly arriving from the local gun shop.
 
Within the first ten days of May, it is scheduled to arrive.
Just in time for some pasture conservation projects.
I acquired some 4o0 grain Hornady DGS. I'll let you know if I recover any bullets or note any failures.

Don't price your table fare by the pound or your wife will get pretty upset.

Are you sure you have enough Bullet to handle that monster?
 
You be careful out there. That certainly looks insanely dangerous!
 
It will be intense
 
Gotta get a puppy out of that one. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
I watched a guy shooting a CZ 416 Rigby for the first time on the weekend. Out of 4 shots (standing) he scoped himself 3 times!
 
Thankfully, the first shots will be taken without a scope, so I should do better than that. If not, am I in real trouble.

Tell him it's a terrible rifle and caliber and that he should give it to you to deal with.

A little risky going up against such dangerous critters with Hornady ammunition isn't it Wayne! :sneaky:

I'll let you know Charlie. Solids may do the job. I should worry more about the DGX apparently. :)

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.
