Welcome! I have not hunted Africa, but I have learned alot hanging around this forum. I am in Lacombe, LA.

Talked to MNR at DSC last year. Very nice rifles and friendly people!

That Africa shaped base!

My choices exactly! I'd take an 89B in 500 and a Martini in 416 as well haha. Inhave no basis on which to qualify these choices save all the books and articles I have read, as well as other media.

Just wondering why, you are selling this fine rifle. Not that I can afford it, but here is a bump.

Not a deal, but look at this craziness! Gives little hope for the poor amongst us haha. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1048792382

More exclusive chamberings for the African model?

Every kitchen counter should be so adorned!

I wish I had that problem haha. Very fine rifle. I would be content with that for sure.

Finally got it back from the gunsmith. Nice new trigger and recoil pad. Ready to shoot now that my shoulder is healed. Planning on a range day soon.

Wood on that one is as good as the one I bought from you. Worth every penny I'd say.

I have been watching that one for months and its a bit rich for my blood right now. It was at $4500 or something like that when I first started watching it. Such a shame CZ does not make rifles like that anymore. I missed the boat.

Sure is. He did such good work!

I want one like that! Found this post searching the web for CZ 550 in 300 H&H.

Aren't they direct mount to Ruger's integral scope ring cuts?

Funny I was thinking about this very thing recently. Contemplating a Ruger African in 300 Win Mag and then getting the AA setup for it.

FML I can't believe I missed these Ruger RSE's!!

Yep, I dream of a Heym double as well. FML, I am jealous, sir! Very nice.

Thanks for the response on an old thread! I see Dakota 76's in 330 Dakota for sale from time to time, at god prices, but I knew the ammo was non-existent and brass is rare. I am not a reloader, yet. Just wanted to know what I could do with one if the price was right for the rifle.

If one had a 330 Dakota and wanted to rebarrel it, what options might they have?

There are several Ruger RSM 458 Lotts on GB (3) and Guns International(1).

I feel the same way alot on this forum haha

It seems that any relatively affordable crf magnum actions for a DGR build are gone.

They are a hot commodity these days!

Wanting to be sick... 1 375 and 0 416...Taking donations hahaha

I was thinking of getting one as a backup!

How is the wood quality on your stock from Numrich?

That makes sense. Looks like yours has decent lumber on it too! I wish I could see the stock before buying online.

I heard the recoil is relatively brutal in thr 416 version and that they are prone to cracking.

How did this rifle end up shooting?

I thought as much, price wise. It was at $5000 when I first started watching it, then it has been re-listed several times at $4500.

IS this a high or normal price for a CZ 550 Safari Classic in 300 H&H? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1031228613 Does anyone have one in 300 H&H or 300 Win Mag? Specifically, this style with barrel band, ebony fore end etc. What do you think of them? I have it in my head that I want a 300 H&H...

This is an interesting offer! AHR is selling CZ550 actions for $1000 and another $500 for the 3 pos safety and single stage trigger. Thats $1500, but this one is almost ready to go for a few hundred more. Good deal!

Weird that I was just searching the web for a stock like that for my Model 70, or for someone who can make one or modify the existing. Thinking RJ Renner.

Welcome! Where in PA? I'm from Johnstown originally.

Hmmm...once I have one (if?) I will do the measurements haha. Quarter ribs with express sights just make a rifle!

I am not a gunsmith, but I was wondering if a quarter rib could be made and installed on Ruger Hawkeye African, such that is would at least resemble the much better M77 MKII Express.

I'm not sure if the Rigby Shikari was unveiled at DSC or it had been prior to that.

They don't have it up on their website yet. I only say semi traditional because of the pic rails on the bridge of the receiver, the rest is good. But they are tentatively more expensive than a Top of the Line Parkwest Arms model.

Snowy Mountains Rifles have a semi traditional African safari style rifle. They just introduced it at DSC.

I'd take the African in 35 Whelen

I have no idea why my comment says "I think then"...

I think then One in 22 would be neat for practice, but the hornet is expensive relatively speaking.

Send me one too haha

I only am aware of this from other people's reports on them, mostly trustworthy reports...but a grain of salt can be taken with them haha. I thought about a Ruger African in 300 win mag, but may save up for a RUger Safari Express instead.

RIP. God watch over his family.

Can the CZ 416 Rigby hold 4 in the magazine? I know 416 Ruger is only 3 and I hear the stocks are prone to cracking.

Do you know what year this one was made?

All black plastic, tacticool, and/or push feed so far.

It does say deceased under the picture and there appears to be a bullet hole.
