Well good day sir. I hope all is well in your part of the world. This forum I have only been apart of in less than 24 hrs and it is amazing. Great people.
 
Welcome to AH!
 
Welcome from Georgia, USA!

CZ 550's in .416 Rigby pop up from time to time on gunbroker.com.

I have one.
I love it!

My wife gave it to me 17 years ago as my 40th birthday present. I took a good buffalo and a baboon with it last August in Mozambique. (Both my PH and the assistant PH loved the CZ 550. My PH had one in 458 Lott. The PH in training was waiting on one in .375 H&H )

I was able to find good deals on ammo on gunbroker.

There seems to be a bunch of Hornady haters out there, but my PH told me that he had never seen bad performance on game with it, and it tends to be much cheaper than anything else you will find in the US.

My CZ shot solid and expanding Hornady loads, much more consistently (same point of impact) than any other brand of factory ammo that I experimented with.

My buffalo dropped within 20 yards, when I made an 80-yard heart shot through scattered brush with a DGX.

Feel free to PM me, if you have questions.
 
If a CZ 550 in .416 Rigby doesn't come along, just buy a new Winchester Model model 70 in .375, .416 Remington or .458 and you will still be just fine.

Hello to all I am a new member in the group.
my first time to Africa was last year, and it was amazing. I am currently looking for a 416 Rigby. I live in Indiana. I am booking another hunt for 2024 and looking to bag a buff. I was introduced to the 416 in Africa it was a cz 550. I would love to purchase one of these rifles, does anyone have any leads?

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
