Well, I recieved my .416 Rigby and mounted a 1.5x5X Leupold in Talley Rings -- thanks for all the advice guys. The gun's a little 'blocky' but fit and finish are better than I expected and the action is smoother than I thought it would be. As soon as "She Who Must Be Obeyed" opens the checkbook I'll buy a box of ammo and sight her in.

The front sight (bead) is simply too small to be useful for its intended purpose as a close range option and backup to the scope. Perhaps it's made to go along with the optimistic 200/300 yd rear sight blades. Does anyone make a larger drop-in front sight for the CZ550? Something with an ivory bead would be ideal.

the necg masterpiece inserts CAN be modified for use... they are too long in the back, but that's file and trim work.
