There's PH's here with 9.5lb Jeffery's that are surgeons with the damn thing.
It takes a lot of Practice, $$$ to become proficient & controlled.

Ridiculous video to some perhaps .. but it's 10lbs.

Time to join with my latest acquisition.

Built on a CZ 550 Magnum action with a 24.5" octagonal barrel weighing 10.5 lbs.

I’m normally not a fan of octagonal barrels but on this one it looks really nice.

It is built by the Danish gunsmith NP Nielsen but not per my request.

He built the rifle for his stock to be sold later on, but for some odd reason it was on his website for a long time without being sold even though the price was very reasonable.

Unfortunately, he has become seriously ill and cannot really work anymore so he is selling out of his stock.

I was offered the rifle to a ridiculously low price and I just couldn’t resist.

That is a beautiful rifle.

Awesome!
Like you, I could say there's "certain particulars I don't prefer", ie. engravings, case color, whatever. But the finished project: I don't discredit anything.
Magnificent, Congrats!

Regardless of price point, Sako, CZ, to Customs & the Unobtainable (to me at least)
That Cartridge left an impression on me.

Great thread, Group & Shared Stories along the way.
Thank you AH.

I have a Sako 85. It is a staggered mag. Mine holds 3 down, I use leupold QD rings and I did not have trouble with ejection issues, but I think I went with medium, or high, I will double check. I ended up putting a trijicon RMR on it. They made a base that fits the Sako scope mount. I killed a deer at 110yds with the RMR. It is a great handling rifle. The only issue is the size of the mag box if you want to run longer bullets. OAL of 3.550 is all you got. Not an issue with any bullets except maybe Barnes TSX 570's. I am going to shoot mine some this afternoon. I will post some pics here later todayView attachment 506166View attachment 506167View attachment 506168

Can you tell me which model of Trijicon you're using?

Can you tell me which model of Trijicon you're using?

Yep, it's the RMR with 1MOA dot. It is currently on my double. So far it has claimed 1 elephant, 1 buff, 1 impala, and 5 whitetail. I will get you the exact model number. After a couple years of running this I will say I HIGHLY recommend the trijicon.

Thanks, going to put one on my .450 Rigby Sako Brown Bear

100% the way to go. With a 1 MOA dot that will be a legit 200 yard rifle. There is a mount that mounts directly to the Sako scope base

There is Also a mount that pops directly into a leupold QD scope base, but it puts the RMR a little too high for my taster and may not be as repeatable as this other mount.
