My 416 Rigby is a pleasure to shoot with no issues....

Yes, with the correct permits! Thank you for the references.

I have attempted to search for some advice , so please point me in the right direction or provide some tips please. I will be hunting soon in Namibia and will do the longhaul by road from Johannesburg, South Africa to central Namibia. The plan is to bring back a few "fresh" Hartman Zebra skins...

It means that some time you will have a blueish shoulder.... After 22 quick shots to sight in a new and stubborn scope in the veld after the first scope gave up the ghost and the Blue Wildebees culling had to continue.... 416 Rigby... 400grains at 2400f/ sec. Dead rest over the Cruiser... I...

I believe that my 3 gun collection is perfect..... My CZ 550 416 Rigby for everything that bites or are tough using 400 grainers, my Remington 700 S/S 30-06, my bush veld rifle/ Mountain rifle normally using 168 grains for plains game and 220 grains for putting a BlueWildebees down very...

"I needed to be able to whittle mapani wood into skewers to prop up my lunch over the open fire in the bush. (they pack nice lunches but I enjoyed shooting birds and grilling them for lunch with the boys)" Mopani wood is toxic and should not be used for cooking.... A knife in the African bush...

416 Rigby all the way!

Hi 50lawman. My rifle is a CZ 550 Magnum De Lux 416 Rigby. I only stripped of the varnish from the stock and made it into an oil finish. The scope is a Zeiss Duralyte 1.2-5 x 36, quite good for up to 200 meters. It was a smallish Eland cow, slaughtered weight 180kgs

I would suggest that you leave the CZ as is and come and hunt in Namibia with the money saved. My 416 Rigby with a nice Biltong Eland cow shot on Tuesday…..

You can fly from OR Tambo Airport, Johannesburg (There airport you would arrive in SA) to Nelspruit (Kruger Mpumulanga Iinternational Airport +/- 20 minutes outside Nelspruit CBD )-+/-50 minute flight. SA Airlink etc has regular daily flights. Otherwise rent a car- nice and easy drive from OR Tambo.

Interesting suggestions from all, I think I have a fairly decent Springbok shooter in the '06. 125 Grain Ballistic Tips in front of 58 grain Somchem S355 gives me a decent and flattish shooting round at 3150+ f/s. Closer than 250 meters though, lost of damage. I am however thinking of something...

As I am allowed to have 4 hunting rifles and currently have 3, my 12 Gauge o/u, my 30-06 and my "baby", the 416 Rigby, what other caliber would you recommend to buy and why.....for me because I can …..

Both are South African produced monolithic bullets by Peregrine. On the left 300 grain Plains Game bullets and on the right their Bushmaster bullets in 340 grain

Because a Rigby shoot these... ;)

Herewith a 5 shot grouping with my 416 Rigby at 100 metres off the sticks in preparation for my Namibia Livingstone Eland hunt, during next month

I am baised, got a CZ55o Lux model in 416 Rigby and out of the box it was perfect, compared to getting my Remington 700 S/S in 30-06 to be the same. Hand load with decent 300 grain "plains type bullets" at 250o fps+ and it shoots accurrate and relatively flat to 300+ meters (especially good for...

Herewith a photo of what is in my gunsafe. The latest addition is my CZ 416 Rigby which I bought new, and had the chance to shoot for the first time this weekend. What a nice rifle....I handloaded 300gr Peregrine VRG5's in New Norma cases, 88gr Somchem S365, just off the rifling and got at 100m...
