One of our club members is advertising a CZ in .416 Rigby, topped with a 1.5-5x Zeiss. Price includes 150 bullets, and 2 boxes of factory ammo. Price $1800 firm. (Canadian $)

Can anyone tell me what the Zeiss scope sells for? I know the gun goes for about $1100 Cdn, new, and factory ammo is about $100/box.

I think thats a fair price if everything is in good condition. Two boxes of factory ammo could be worth a hundred bucks, and the Zeiss scopes are not cheap. I don't think that you have found the steal of the century, but you are certainly not getting ripped off.

I don't see any ammo listed for less than 75 a box, and can't find any Zeiss listed for under a grand. I'd say it is a very fair price.

if you dont someone else will...is that what you are looking for is the question

I'd say its fair. Can't find a price in my catalogues for that scope, but if its the Conquest line its worth about a grand. If its a Diavari its worth double. Wish I knew more about Ziess rifle scopes.

And your saving about $150 on GST too boot.

Personally, I'm cheap with scopes....I'd offer him a grand for the rifle and ammo and let him try to sell the scope seperately. Get a used Leupold at the next gun show and you are in business.

Cheers,

Well, I have a set of .416 Rigby dies sitting at home waiting for a rifle. However, funds are a bit short right now, but I could possibly swing it.

Now, if I bought the 416, then my .375 and .458 might become superfluous. (Is there such a thing as a superflous gun?)

Canuck, I've got a used Leupold 1.5-5x waiting for a partner.

If the price point is good enough you could turn around and sell the ZEISS and put that money towards the whole situation, might come out much better than you expect.
