Wow, shes a beauty!

Yeah mate yep, is that where you got yours from? Mine turned up at my dealer this week, I'm very impressed with it. The fit and finish on it is as good as any Rigby I've owned. The hand fitting of the bolt to action is unreal, there is absolutely no movement and the bolt cycles like it's...

Good luck mate!

A couple of absolute ripper bulls!

She's a beauty!

Did anyone else end up getting their hands on one of these Safari Classics II models? I just purchased one brand new still in box chambered in 458 Lott, first CZ550 I have ever bought. Link below to the 2019 catalogue that gives you a description and some specs. The one I got is an oiled matte...

Usually something under around the 36" mark and/or a bull with a broken horn etc

I've basically never spent a cent on taxidermy and just keep my trophies as euro's. My first hunt to Africa will be for 2 "management" buffalo bulls with a potential third one available. Will all be euro mounts, doesn't take up much room in the house and doesn't cost me a fortune in taxidermy...

A Fairly standard powder charge for the 458 Lott is between 82 and 84 grains depending on the type of powder, Standard powder charge for the 416 Rigby is around 95-100 grains, again depending on the type of powder.

Ahhh ok 81 grains makes much more sense, thanks.

Where did you get a 91 grain powder charge with a 500 grain bullet from? I've reloaded hundreds of 458 Lott cartridges and have never seen a powder charge of 91 grains with a 500 grain bullet, even 84 grains of RL15 with a 500 grain bullet which is what I use is at the max. Powder charge makes...

I've had the same experience, always great accuracy. Couldn't ask for anymore than that out of a big bore.

550 grain Woodleighs averaging 2141fps, 3 shot group at 60 yards. I'm happy with that! After shooting that group brought it up to about zero at 100 yards and put another 2 down range to confirm. She shoots!

I use 1.5-5 power scopes on all my hunting rifles, usually getting around with them set on about 2 or 2.5 power and then adjust to suit as I need to.

I know I'd probably regret buying something like this but it's awfully bloody tempting! That might be the nicest double I have ever seen!
