I think that you are in the right place to get some answers. I will offer my thoughts on caliber, recoil, and muzzle breaks. Recoil - I have joked with my friends that the best cure for recoil is watching my 120LB wife shoot my 416 Rigby. The point I am trying to make is that ultimately, if...

Great info. I think that approach is spot on. I actually use neck bushing dies for 243 and 300WM. Never occurred to me that just measure the necks on the 416s. I am going give that a try and report back. Simple solutions are the best!

Mark, I think that the testing/measuring process you describe is the way to go. I will report back with my results. Thanks.

I am looking for some wisdom on crimping of Big Bore Calibers. I just returned from South Africa where I had the opportunity to speak with several PHs about reloading. The consensus was that they do not crimp .416 Rigby. In fact I was able to inspect several of their reloaded rounds, and they...

I think you are in the right place to get the information you need. I would suggest that you add some more requirements. For example: budget, hunting or competition, chassis gun or traditional stock, etc. Have you purchased the rifle, and if not why .308? There are perhaps some better calibers...

I am glad it worked out for you. What type of rings are you using on the 416?

I have killed elk with: - 300 Win Mag - 180 Barnes TTSX - .308 - 168 Barnes TTSX - 7MM Rem Mag - 140 Remington Core-Lokt Most of my hunting is now with the 300WM. I have killed everything from eland to ibex with Barnes 180 TTSX. Shot distances ranging out to 350 yards. On recent trips to...

Fellas, I think you nailed it. I am. Pretty sure the issue is with the CZ action and/or with the barrel. I spoke to Richard Near at Near Manufacturing (he makes just about perfect integral scope mounts). He thought the issue might actually be with the barrel - the process of manufacturing the...

I appreciate the comment. It is not an ideal solution for a couple of reasons: 1.) it will raise the scope by maybe 1/2 inch (it is perfect now), and 2.) I have quick release rings and I also have a RMR sight on a quick release base (I hate to loose the option to swap out the sight).

I had previously posted to get some recommendations on an LPVO scope for my CZ 550 (thank you for all the great input). I opted for the Swarovski 6i 1-6x24 on Talley quick release rings. When sighting in, the elevation adjustment would bottom out before I could raise the the point of impact to...

Thank you for the great information. I am reloading for a CZ 550 that has been upgraded by American Hunting Rifles. I have all the powders that you mention (except for the elusive Reloader 22) - I will likely start with H4350, and see how it goes. I typically use Redding dies, but was given a...

I am new to reloading 416 Rigby. I have loaded plenty of 300WM, 308, and 30.06, but never any big bore calibers. I am just looking for some basic guidance, and big bore reloading information seems pretty scarce on the internet/youtube. Here are some questions: - Would you suggest resizing to...

Philip, thanks for the reply. Your video is very informative. To your point about removing the scope: I currently have a Trijicon RMR Reflex Sight on a quick release mount. My intention is to use the reflex sight for buffalo, and to be able to switch to a 1-6/8 for plains game once the...

I am trying to decide on a new scope for my CZ in 416 Rigby. I will be using this rifle for buffalo and opportunistically on a couple or three plains game species. I currently have it set up with a Trijicon RMR on a quick release mount, and am planning to add a scope on quick release rings for...

I know this is a highly subjective question, but I am interested in opinions on the best place for a first Buffalo hunt. I have hunted plains game in South Africa (northern cape) on a private reserve, and it was fantastic. I am tempted to go go back there. However, I am also thinking about...
