Re: CZ 550 Safari 505 Gibbs


Yes, I wish they had gone for the pop up peep, that would be really nice however I think the tooling up for it would have been prohibitive.

Mercury recoil reducers might be a bit of a problem if installed at the factory as I believe it then rules out air freight as an option (mercury being banned from being air freighted).

Anyway, at least CZ has gone for a quality product and not cheap cheap cheap.


Re the 600gn, my 505Gibbs weighs a lot but even I noticed the recoil when testing the bullets for Woodleigh.

I found Recovery for the 2nd shot was quite long for both 525 and 600gns due to muzzle rise (plus mine is a Magnum mauser so it takes time to pull back).

So personally, I wouldn't use mine for culling again as you can't get the volume of fire like I can with a 375H&H.
