Does any canadian companies carry large caliber rifles like this?

[rci2950]

I am shopping around for an affordable rifle in .416 rigby... for reasons most normal people wont understand. Anyway browsing the net i see this... and it is exactly what i am looking for. Except this seems to be the only place that carries it. They are south of the border. I am not interested in paying $2500 and up for one. But regular conversion from US to CDN $$$ would be appropriate. Does anyone know of any Canadian companies who carry this sort of stuff?

Wolverine usually carries some big stuff. But brace yourself for disappointment...you're not getting it at US prices plus exchange.

Prophet River in Loydminister gets stuff like that regularly. Can order and import almost anything. Also check Zastsava rifles from Tradex Canada for a 375 that can be built to a 416.

Totally understandable, boss caliber. TradeEx had a CZ 550 listed for the longest time for just under 2 large if I recall correctly but I just checked it's gone.

Sako makes a nice .416 Rigby -

Their distributor might have/can get 1. Within your budget in US dollars.

They also sell CZ rifles.

.416 Rigby is an excellent cartridge choice.
I have the Sako 85 Brown Bear in this chambering.It's a nice rifle but comes with a 3k+ price point so maybe not for you.
I would also recommend the CZ rifles but I'm not a fan of the 25" barrel.

It's perfectly understandable. reasonable people will ask "what do you hunt with that?" to which I answer "anything I want dead!"

Dale at shooterschoice.ca has one. It's part of an estate sale so there maybe some "wiggle room" on it. His price also includes tax. I think it comes with ammo as well. Has a really nice piece of wood on it.

To import our going to be in the $250+ range for import fees.
You can do it yourself by dealing with the US State dept and it will take about 18-24 months to get it. Went through this. Don't bother. Use an import company.
