bev6345 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 My Review of the CZ 550 Safari Classic 2 in .416 Rigby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 It's an interesting review. I remember handling in Gastinne Rennette in Paris (before it closed for good) a BSA in .458 Winchester. Fitted still with its original factory muzzle brake! Which must have been most unpleasant to stand alongside let alone the noise the blast would have been fearsome. The .416 Remington works well, I read, except in places where it is hot as unlike the .416 Rigby. The difference being that there is "breathing space" incorporated in the Rigby to cope which the Remington hasn't got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 I had that rifle in .375H&H. Superb bit of kit. Thumbnail accuracy and smooth to shoot. There is a reason they are the best selling rifle in Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 OF thank you. I wish I still had my Gibbs 470 NE but sold it as a skint uni student. I’ve shot some lovely doubles but must say this 375 H&H by Lee Butler is probably my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
