Thanks for pointing out the Norma brass. I will ask the current owner for his loading data and the performance he achieves. I've already found some freely available loading data on Norma's site. Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you for your reply and useful information. Night Force nxs riflescopes seem to be very durable and reliable. Combined with the QD Warne steel detachable mounts, it looks like a good combination. I'm looking forward to seeing the reaction from NZ. It reminded me of the times I spent in...

Thank you for your reply. I will use it with the original wooden stock at the beginning. I will probably have it professionally reinforced with a glass bedding. I have found the following powders in my nearest stores: Reload Swiss RS80, Vectan, Vihtavuori N560, Norma, Hodgdon.

Did you do additional glass bedding before installing the Bell & Carlson composite stock?

Thank you for your advice and useful information. After your supportive comments I have definitely decided to buy it and give it some of the "treatments" you recommended. I've already read a lot of pros and cons about CZ 550 rifles, but with some of the modifications you recommended, I think...

The gentleman from whom I will buy it works in Belgium. He will be back at the end of March and I will pick up this rifle then. I am impatient....can't wait :A Thumbs Up: I'll upload some pics of the new queen of my gun safes.

Wow....good accuracy for such a big bore caliber :D Beers:

If shooting 500 jeff doesn't have an effect on it, probably neither will 416 Rigby. Thanks for pictures.

I don't want to be picky but....did you have any problems when shooting the rifle with front sling swivel stud on the stock?

Thanks (y):D Beers:

Looks good. Did you have to do some adjustments on the stock or it fits as it is?

Thank you, I'm curious to see pictures of your rifle. I'll get a sample of what it should look like.

I like all my guns to be steel and wood, only my Springfield XDM(HS) is polymer. Synthetic stock sounds like less work in this case. The current price of the Bell & Carlson polymer stock on their website is $340. I suppose it's a cheaper and quicker option than a wood stock tune. Yes, it loses...

It should be the right one to withstand big recoil from .416 Rigby

I am looking on something like this - LEICA FORTIS 6 1-6X24I

Thanks

I am from Europe and rifle is in Europe.

I am from Europe.

Bell & Carlson Inc 101 Allen Rd, Dodge City, KS 67801, USA I'll be in Houston, TX at the end of September this year, I'll try to check it out. I hope there won't be a problem with transportation, I'm thinking of airplane transportation.

Thank you for advice and assurance to buy it.

Please, anybody can help with some recipes for reloading? Can I gain - 400gr bullet with velocity around 2,400 ft/s???? Thanks a lot.

I didn't shoot such a caliber yet. Agree with you straight stock would be better. I am going to buy it as a project and as a ticket to the world of big bore calibers.

Hi all, I would like to asked you for comments and advice. I have opportunity to buy CZ 550 MAGNUM in .416 Rigby. Rifle was made in 1999, bought new and used couple of times in Africa (2 or 3 hunting trips). Guy who sales it already got another rifle in big bore caliber. This is his granddads...

Hi sir, I have been collecting them for a while. Especially happy to have Winchester 1894 in 38-55 Win manufactured in 1903 in original shape. Second one is Browning 1886 in 45-70 Gov. manufactured in 1986. As a child I always dreamt of Winchester lever action rifle as John Wayne had :). Regards.

Hi sir, yes I am fluent in Slovak.

Hi everybody. I have been a member for a while, so I guess it’s time to get active and contribute. I am a third generation hunter of our family. When my grandpa took me to the forest the first time (a 5 yo) I shot from his Mauser 98, 8x57IS. I fell in love with nature, hunting, sport shooting...

Hello sir, Thank you for all this info. I will check the NitroExpressForums. Regards.
