I purchased a new CZ in 416 Rigby in 2006. I had a lot of problems with it...

The bolt would bind when drawing it rearwards (with and without a round). It happened a lot.

The quality of finish on the rifle was just terrible.

The two flip up sights were not in line with the fixed sight. The second sight was to the left of the fixed sight and the third sight was to the right of the fixed sight, I could have adjusted it I suppose but I really should not have to

Even the wood to metal fit was rather poor.

I sent the rifle back to the Dealer and he told me that he could only reproduce the binding once or twice and told me that it must have been the way I was drawing back the bolt???

I told him to get stuffed and if that bolt binds when I am standing in front of a buffalo coming at me, there would be a world of hurt, not just for me.

I demanded my money back and I was refunded the price minus the freight I had to pay to get the rifle back down to him...

I was happy enough that I got rid of that rifle. So disappointing.

I love my BRNOs. I have two early ZKK 458wm models and I still keep an eye out for good late 60s or early 70s models. The new CZ doesn't even come close

That was in 2006, I thought CZ might have lifted their game by now.

As I liked the 416 Rigby (and I had 100 rounds) I purchased a second hand Ruger M77. Great strong rifle that I never had any problems with.

If you can get a good condition early BRNO ZKK you wont be disappointed...
