It'll be a CZ 550 American,and I'm trying to decide between .416 Rigby and .458 Lott. Both guns are the same except the lotts in a synthetic stock,which I would change,both hold 5rounds you all already know.

The reason it's even a decision(I would go with the Lott) is because of the handloading potential of the .416 Rigby. I know the Rigby runs a 400 grainers at2400 at 47,500 psi.im not a handloader,so it's why I'm asking,couldn't the Rigby be loaded up to higher pressure with a 450 grain bullet and keep the 2400 fps? If the Lott is running 65k, couldn't terigby run 65k safely too? Forgive my ignorance of handloading,I never learned.

Game hunted will be Cape Buffalo bull and plains game,for which I have a 7 mm.

Which rifle would you choose, The Lott or the Rigby?

And please don't leave comments saying CZ doesn't sell the 550 Safari Magnum anymore check their website yes they do I have the link here that you can see.

We've been through this once before. That's a scam website.

Well then, go ahead and send them your money!
Please then report on how long it is until you receive your new CZ 550 Magnum.

Yes sir, most reputable gun sale sites accept crypto... :)

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
