CZ 550 - .416 Rigby good choice for dangerous game?

Love the .416 Rigby, not only for the performance but the history. The Remington is as good and probably more practical in many ways but it lacks the nostalgia. I had my CZ re-stocked as well as some metal work like a 3 position safety, barrel band, action job and it has served me well. Loaded with North Fork 400 gr softs and Barnes flat nosed solids it's a tack driver. One thing I have grown to love about the CZ is the trigger, its fully adjustable and the set trigger is great for load testing and critical shots like on hippo and croc.

Looks like your CZ has a little English blood in it!! Beautiful rifle!!!
 
The Brno Mauser's are fantastic for milsurp rifles. Compared to other Mauser models. The craftsmanship are superb and the actions are smooth and well made

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
