Swara I ended up getting 2 CZ 550's one from the CZ Custom Shop and the other a standard CZ Safari. Both feed fine with no issues yet. I have had Sakos in the past, and see why people are love them. When I wanted a big bore a friend of mine had two that I liked, and got both, it's tough to...

Well said and the reason why I purchased recently a 416 Rigby and 505 Gibbs for my future Safari (?). And if I don't go on a safari, the big bore makes for a great conversation piece !

Sakos are nice and usually very accurate! I saw two Safari Grade Sakos yesterday, one a 450 Rigby and the other a 416 Rigby, very nice wood, these large cartridges use the over size action that Sakos makes, very nice, but the price is scary, over $10,000 each. For that kind money I would get a...

Now I am getting a scared. I just purchased 2 CZ 550's, one very used 416 Rigby and the other a 505 Gibbs from their Custom Shop, nice wood. I haven't shoot them but ordered some factory ammo from Hornady (416) and Norma for the 505. I know the owner of the gun shop who ordered the 505 for...

Nice gun, enjoy it!

What are the dates of this hunt?

It is great to be here, lots of good information available. What types of hunts do you do?

Thank you Nyati, I feel right at home here as there are a lot of big bore enthusiasm here!

Shootist43, You are correct, Cape Buffalo hunting is very in-expensive compared to a Brown Bear hunt, which a friend of mine went on. Looks like a starting point around $10k but by the time air travel and trophy fees somewhere around $15k.

Thanks for the responses, I see it didn't take long to get good information. The feeding issues on the CZ 550 action is a bit concerning, I like my rifles to function perfectly, especially one intended for DG. Just to give a little background on me I have a large bore rifle, a 50 BMG. I...

Hello this is my first post, I just joined tonight! I found this forum because I just came across a good deal on a CZ 550 505 Gibbs and was getting info on the 505 and am close to pulling the trigger on this one, nice wood, and I have a soft spot for wood,must be the carpenter in me. I know...
