Yes, it includes the bolt handle and I believe the trigger will be a timney.

Tim was mentored by Wayne and provides the same services.

I have been talking to Tim from Matrix gunsmithing for a couple months. I finally got around to shipping my CZ in 416 Rigby to him this morning. I’m going with upgrade option 2; 3 position safety, action tuning, trigger job, barrel sling band, cut and crown the muzzle, upgrade sights and bed the...

The Ruger guide gun I feel is the best of the 416 rugers. As others have pointed out you can take it anywhere and it will not rust up. It’s short, light, easy to pack, and easy to suppress. I picked up a new one for $900 with dies.

I shoot a hornady 143 eldx out of a 16” barrel. I’ve dropped whitetail, impala, blesbuck, lechwe, warthog, jackal, bushbuck from 200-350 yards easily. Longest shot was a golden wildebeest at 416 yards, circled 100 yards and then dropped. Shot placement matters

Details on your culling belt?

I’ve been really on the fence about a 3 position safety and a barrel band. Very few Cz gunsmiths. I was looking at Matrix gunsmithing.

How many of you have had modified your 550s with a 3 position safety, action/follower tuning and or adding a sling barrel band?

You did well, could have easily gone for 3000. I got a NIB one back in May for $1500, right time right place.

It was small. Parking will cost you $30. You can walk the show in an hour. I dragged it out 2 hours with a few conversations and just taking my time. A few international outfits and every Texas deer ranch ever.

Welcome to the club. Good read.

Thanks for the tip, just ordered. They certainly are proud of that mount but it will take length & weight off the front of the gun and less tolerance stack.

Very nice. I have been building a similar set up this month. I picked up a new guide gun in 416 with reloading dies for $950, what a steal.! I went with a silencerco hybrid 46dt with 11/16-24 bravo mount and a Hughes thread adapter 5/8-28 to 11/16-24. My hope is to get a custom bravo mount in...
