Thank you everyone for your input. However I've bit the bullet and changed my Zastava order to one for a Ruger CZ in .416 Rigby at a very good price from my local gun shop.

It is always cheaper in the long run to buy the factory product and with a bit of gunsmithing the CZ will look and perform as I wish.

Congratulations, I think you will be happy with your choice. I have a CZ 550 magnum in 416 Rigby and am very happy with the accuracy of the rifle and the performance of the cartridge.

One thing to consider if you are sending to a smith for tuning. I picked uip a new piece of bottom metal from Wisners that allows four in the magazine.

The only thing I found with the CZ was I had to work the action for a little while for it to get slick as it seemed a little sticky at first.

This spring I laid a couple of black bears with it - very effective.

Congrats for what? Is he buying a Ruger RSM or CZ 550. He is calling it a "Ruger CZ" wth is that?

Bought a CZ. Having another grandpa moment there.
