Thanks ftrovato

Thanks Uplander, I understand this, sammi tip to tip doesn't cut the mustard, with the huge difference in bullet lengths. I've always started loads 10 thou back from the lands. Just wondering if anyone has the measurements from the cartridge base to lands for the cz550.

Hi Guys. Has anyone got an ogive length, cartridge base to ogive length for 416 Rigby using Barnes tsx in a cz550 Africa II rifle? Many thanks

Good evening guys, Would you be so kind as to settle a score for me please? What is the average free recoil energy of a 416 Rigby in joules? Obviously it's variable due to bullet weight, rifle weight, powder etc.

Wise words in p2 one day. On my many searches, when typing in 1-8, most result are tac- swat bollox sites. No interest. Delta scopes come up a lot, any experience of these? A friend has a couple of stalking scopes by them, very good.

Thanks One day. Good info.

Shit the bed, I'll take my chances. £2500 for the trijicon ain't for me

Thank you for your reply. Yes, definitely going for the warne QD mounts. I'll have a look at the trijicon scopes. Not sure of their availability in the UK.

Hi everyone, Looking for advice on optics for my cz 550 416 Rigby. It will be my first African hunt, hunting buffalo and plains game. Has anyone got any feedback on the vortex 1-8x24 scopes? All advice much appreciated.

Thank you velo dog. Will do

Hi, yes. Buffalo cows. Can't afford the dugga boys.

Relatively poor, certainly in the world of African hunting.

I have a slot on my license for a 470 ne , looking for something cheap yet reliable.
