Hey everyone.
Have a CZ550 .416 Rigby I bought from Head Trauma here off the forum a few years ago. Here is how he as the original owner described the rifle:
Rifle was purchased new, bore deep cleaned to bare metal, inspected with a borescope and lapped.
Very minimal powder/copper fouling, not like the usual CZ big bore copper mine, easy cleanup.
Custom bolt handle, huge improvement over the factory one.
NEC front sight, custom NEC rear sight, vast improvement over the factory rear sight
Sights are spot on at 25/50 yards, OEM front and rear sights included.
OEM rear sight can be easily re-installed if desired
Round count is 51
Wisner drop pocket floorplate, a new catch was fabricated to get it fitted properly, fits snug and locks up tight, no rattle, OEM floorplate included. The OEM floorplate catch is lost in space, easy to replace.
Brockman front sling stud
Timney trigger, big improvement over the factory trigger, OEM trigger included.
B&C stock, 13-3/4" LOP, 8.7 lbs, barrel is free floated.
Exceptionally accurate with CEB Raptors and Safari solids, 90-95 gr H4350 and you are good to go.
Load data and chronograph data included
As new appearance, no cosmetic flaws, this is a turnkey DG rifle ready to go with all the bells and whistles.
New bolt handle was done by Tom Jackson, Dubuque Iowa, master class gunsmith.
I have not fire it since I bought it from him.
Pictures show the rifle as best as I can. If you want a specific pic, message me and I will take it and post it. Pic of the excel file shows all the CZ550 .416 Rigbys I could find sold lately. On a commonly used auction site (not sure if I am allowed to type their name here) they have been going for 1950-2800. Only the 2800 one had upgrades. Everything else is bare stock and most not even in BC stocks.average price was $2221. One completely stock rifle with wood was sold on here in August for $2100 and people are asking $1500 just for an action.
Asking $2200 shipped. This is basically the current price of “stock” rifles with no upgrades (trigger, floor plate, lapping, stock, sights, etc.).
No shipping to states which hate firearms. Also, no Hawaii. If you need Alaska, DM me and we can see if we can figure something out.
I am also open to trades ranging from single items to multiple firearms from your side.
.375 H&H is one of my favorites. Also like handguns.
