For Sale .450 Rigby CZ 550

Just curious, you mention that you prefer your 458 Lott to the 450 Rigby. Could you let us know why? I also have a Lott, and am looking into getting a Rigby, but mainly just because I always am wanting something “bigger and faster”. Thanks.
 
As a handloader, I vastly prefer the 450 Rigby/450 Dakota over the Lott.

Not just for the added versatility due to the size of the combustion chamber, but also the big body and shoulder provide a nice parallel necks.
 
BTW the gun is a nice dark rich color. And it feeds great! Haven't shot it yet but stuffed 3 down and chambered one and racked through as fast as I could. Not a single hickup. Repeated several times. Looks to be a reliable DG rifle;)

Time will tell...shooting will tell!

Get that puppy out and let her run!

100gr IMR 4350 and a cheap Hornady 500gr will be a nice familiarization load. :)
 
Nice, I’ve been fortunate to fire a similar rifle. Only one shot though. I watched the owner shoot it prone, off a bipod. He was pounding a steel plate at 200 yds with it. A combination of 350gr(?) Flexi tips and 500gr rounds.
 
I'll take it. Don't need but do need to play with it;)

If I don't I know I'm going be kicking myself. Passed on a couple at a Cabelas couple years ago and been regretting it....
WAAAAY too late, as usual :((
 
Ugh... this forum needs the ability to delete old "for sale" posts. :rolleyes::cautious:

Bob, you’re going to have to come hunting in Zambia and “forget” to take it back with you!
I am jealous, hope you’re enjoying the rifle.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
