Thanks for the input gents - Ive never seen a 416 rem mag in a 550 here in Australia unfortunately. I shall give it some thought.

Ive been thinking of turning my CZ550 in 375 into a 416 Rem Mag. So I would have a 23" factory profile barrel made with the integral open sight island so I can keep the original CZ550 open sights with a better front sight blade than the factory one. Only other inclusion would be a barrel band...

Sorry didnt mean to inadvertently hijack this thread........Ill post it elsewhere

Ive been thinking of turning my CZ550 in 375 into a 416 Rem Mag. From what we can see all is required is a barrel change to a 23" 416 Rem Mag , keeping the original CZ Open Sights , and the fitting of a barrel band and a better front open sight Blade. The stock will be slimmed down a tad and...

Red Leg Agree with you on the R8 - the most versatile rifle on the market

I’ve seen a few of the new Rigbys and I’ve seen one Bolt action Heym. I would take the Heym any day to a Rigby in the similar price bracket. Plus Heym do the 404 Jeffery’s.....

WANT ONE

T3s now the best selling rifle in both New Zealand and Australia. I don't believe any other rifle comes close in terms of sales.....

Great looking rifle ArmyGrunt. I love the look of that Classic stock. Just be aware - they are very addictive! I know - I have an R8 Proffessional and 4 barrels now Very practical guns and I love the fact that one can quite safely walk with one in the chamber & action decocked. Happy hunting!

If one cannot shoot a 308 properly, then handing them a 300 win mag or similar would more than likely make matters worse. No substitute for shot placement and good bullet selection.......a magnum is not a miracle cure.....

thought you guys would appreciate this!

Reality:)

New M70s are a great rifle!

No R8s that I am aware of have come apart. The action was tested to approximately 215000 psi about two years ago in Germany and I believe it's just been tested again to somewhere close to 250000psi. Without the action blowing up. So that's well in excess of just about any other action one...

If this is the incident with a 338 Lapua here is Australia there may be more to this than meets the eye. IF what I hear is true, and its from a couple of sources, the operator was apparently using commercially made hand loads and lubricating the bolt head with Hornady One Shot lube as he was...
