Hey guys,
Just bought a new cz550 in 416 rigby. I was wondering what your opinions of this rifle are, and what you think I might want to add to it.

Almost bought one last summer. I think they are a well made rifle! Price is right! It should serve you well.

I love mine, I just changed the stock to a custom fibreglass kevlar job. I think there great value.

If you do not change the stock, have your wooden one bedded and floated to the barrel recoil lug. The cz rings also work really well, I have a 2-7x33 varix X11 mounted on mine and it gives me good field of view and heaps of eye relief.

Have fun.

just got one in last friday. PLAIN stock, shot great, and, in all reality, you are getting a rigby for ~650.
if you don't know, your trigger is a "set" trigger. with an EMPTY gun, close the bolt, pull the trigger. Then, work the bolt, EMPTY, and push the trigger forward, and then see.

I have one, you'll like it.

If you can believe what you read on these forums and over a fairly long period, then the combination of CZ 550 and 416 Rigby and also the Ruger and 416 Rigby, seem to have a higher satisfaction rating than just about any other combination of caliber and gun and especially with regards to accuracy.

I have found the cz trigger to be very nice. And the feeding is flawless.

These rifles really are a bargain I beleive. If they bought out stainless synthetic varients they would neally monopolise the market I think.

PC, are you dreaming? Well, I would buy a couple of stainless CZ 550 Magnum in a heart beat if they got some. Cheers! Ming

So would I ming. I don't know why they don't see the advantage of it.

In all truth, the .416Rigby in any rifle is the cartridge against with all other Dangerous game cartridges must be measured. I've amassed a bit of experience with it and the stories you hear of its effect on game are absolutely true! The .416 Rigby is in fact more shootable than any of the bigger bores and has virtually the same ballistics as a .375 but with much greater retained energy. A well set up Rigby with a 1.5X5 leupold or Swarofski in Talley mounts can be used successfully from 50 yrds to well over 200. The CZ550 is an excellent gun for the price and you have done well to buy one.-Rob
