G'day Baker,

I'm new here also, and have a CZ550 in .416 Rigby like you mentioned. It was the best that I could afford at the time. I love it! I'm aware of the sling swivel, and just position my hand accordingly, and haven't had a problem. Most of my hunting shots are taken unsupported or with my left hand resting against a tree or termite mound.

Cheers,

Ben
