Boar hunting with wife and .416 Rigby...
31/08/08 01:53 PM

G'day lads,

I checked out a new spot today with my wonderful wife and my marvellous CZ550 in .416 Rigby. I found this little boar in the shade of some tea tree along a muddy creek, and opened proceedings at about 30 metres. Alas, my shooting wasn't the best as he ran for cover, but I was able to have him down and out quite promptly. Unfortunately, one round entered at the back of his chest and left via his bottom jaw, smashing it and the left tusk (they were only small). With the very last bullet in the magazine (of three), I experienced great difficulty feeding it in, whereas the first two load quite nicely. Methinks the spring to be buggered. Would Horsely Park be able to get a new spring, does anyone know? Anyway, it was a great way to spend a morning. It was magic to be out amongst it, and I'm enjoying the lingering feel of a rifle that gently lets your shoulder know that a round or three have been squeezed-off! The ingredients were Norma brass with Woodleigh 410 grain soft-nosed projectiles, and 94 grains of 2209.

Cheers, and good hunting to all,

Ben
