CZ 550 Magnum in .416 Rigby

[Glockster]

This time last year I had my local dealer call the importer about the CZ .416 Rigby. They had one left and apparently were not planning to bring in anymore of this calibre. Things may have changed since then though.

Glockster,
That would explain the apparent shortage. Oh well, I do have a line on one now, and if worst comes to worst importing from the States isn't that bad an option.

Meanea,
That is nicely done! I didn't even know that you could stretch and hog out a Model 70 action enough to fit the big Rigby case. Rifles like that are God's way of telling me I don't make enough money.

Ultramag,
How does that fancy handle you're sending me compare?

Winchester brand custom guns have always been made on a "build to order" basis for individuals or for specialized custom gun dealers. No orders for custom guns are currently being taken by U.S. Repeating Arms Company and no guns are being made due to the closure of the New Haven manufacturing facility. Because of very limited supplies and due to strong demand the Winchester custom guns shown here are extremely difficult to locate. Check your custom gun dealer for availability.

I don't know if you will get quite that much dark line's...............it would be close. But there is no describing the tiger strip on this blank. Over all I like it better.

Dogleg,
It sounds like you got one, but Ellwood epps has a 458 Win mag in a CZ in stock. It should handle a buff with some authority.

To all,
Thanks for your answers and suggestions. I've got a .416 Rigby coming from one GunNutz, and a AAA Bastogne stock coming from another. They're looking to get married.
