CZ 416 Rigby

[CTDolan]

The only CZ I'd even consider (stock and all, after having been sent to AHR for a new trigger, bolt handle, 3-position safety, and bolt shroud, of course). Would probably knock her down to 23" barrel, too, and add a NEGC front sight.

Of course, were I a rich man...

Vintage...even better.

Here's my Cz .416 Rigby, laPour 3-position safety, NECG front site, metal work to clean up the rough edges, action
job, barrel band and custom stocked. Had a matching .375 H&H done as well.

Damn!!!

If I could afford the wood, that'd be the stock!! But, in lieu of, and for the sake of absolute reliability (dropped in the Alaskan wilderness for a 3-week moose/caribou hunt, reliability), I'd have to go with Aramid (over factory wood).

Beautiful

If I had $1700 to burn, this would be a good way to go about it. Killer deal for a 416 Rigby RSM (and with good wood, to boot).

that is a lovely piece of wood D.Unger

I am very fond of the CZ's in magnum calibers, both my 416 Rigby and my 404 Jeffery are great rifles.

I always upgrade them :
3 lever safety's
shorten the barrel
barrel band
polish the action
trigger job
replace the front bead
widen the V's

I also really enjoy the 416 calibers, as I have said before on AH , they hit hard and with great authority.

I see the CZ as a good way to get into a Mauser-style action, in one of the heavies, without having to drop a truckload of cash. The standard AHR conversion package, if I'm not mistaken, is around $700. This addresses any and all main issues with the CZ. So, throw in an Aramid stock (the CZ offering, which is most excellent), and you've got a truly bullet-proof combination. From there, over time, as money permits, one can add other upgrades to taste.

Yeah, no doubt! Somebody is going to have a good day, when they make that purchase!

 

[Witold Krzyżanowski]

I agree withCTDolan.

I would suggest that you leave the CZ as is and come and hunt in Namibia with the money saved. My 416 Rigby with a nice Biltong Eland cow shot on Tuesday…..

Congrats AFRICADE.

so are you going to get one .....or is this a hypothetical sort of thread?

 

[CTDolan]

For the present moment, it's hypothetical. I've got another 2 years before I'll have enough to truly decide (at which point I'll have $2,000-$2,500 to put to use).

 

[CAustin]

Both are great looking rifles.
