Price Was Right, I Hope!
      #44050 - 15/12/05 03:20 PM

Well, I found a CZ550 American, NIB in 416 Rigby at Auction Arms for $619.99 + $20.00 shipping. They take plastic with no 3% premiun, also. I bought an AYA 12ga SXS from the same folks for $260.00, and got a very good shotty for the $$$ !

I HAD to BUY the rifle, didn't I??

You betcha! I've heard a few derogatory comments about the .416 550, but two of my friends bought them new when they first came out and have nothing but praise for them. They were only a little over a grand (US$750) at the time, similar money, and darn good value for the price. A fair number of Territory buffalo are no longer in a position to argue!

The earlier hog back stock mdl I bought in 1999 or early 2000 was an excellent rifle. I sold it to recoup some $$$$ I had spent over budget on a 5 week safari to Zim and Masailand...arranged by Ray Atkinson. Ray went to bat and straightened things out when a snafoo hit the trip. Got a great buffalo!

Congratulations. You got a very good price on a nice rifle. Bass Pro and Gander Mountain's prices are about $ 200 higher.

Good hunting!
