CZ 550 .416 Rigby RAFFLE

For irons I'd call that a good group and adjust them accordingly. What distance do you intend to zero the gun for? If it is under 75 yds. or so, do you really need a scope for that distance?


For whatever reason, 100 yards is the target.
It's the distances beyond that where the scope might come in really handy.
If you could see the sights AND the target I'd be happier.

I like to get my groups under a

at 100 yards before I go hunting with it.

I like to get my groups under a View attachment 200787 at 100 yards before I go hunting with it.
Which is about 30% smaller than what our USA friends group :rolleyes:

Great shooting btw. You definitely are warming up to this cartridge:)

If I did not think about gun fit after that first series of three shots weeks ago this rifle would have been sold.

With the better fit and slow introduction I am taking with it. It will turn out to be an awesome accurate rifle. I have most certainly warmed to the caliber.

I want to see about the BARNES working its magic in it.
 
The latest adornment.

The result with the 350 grain TTSX at 108 yards.

We are ready to go.
 
Nice jewelry :thumbs up:
 
What is the story behind those shots? Were you adjusting the scope? Shots were made off sticks?

Reused a target. Only three shots from 416. Two almost touching and the yank up to the right
 
Now that all the silliness is over, getting this rifle ready for the field, I am interested in what has finally transpired with the education of these two young people that this raffle was supposed to be funding??
 
If you do another raffle, count me in!

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
