550 Classics in Africa - Added 1 month, 2 weeks ago.
Added by Pieter KrielJeremy (hunter) and Pieter (outfitter) had a great opportunity on a recent hunting trip to Africa. Jeremy was using a CZ 458 Win Mag with 500gr Nosler solids and was backed up by Pieter with a CZ 550 458 Lott using 500gr Hornady solids. We were about 35-40 yards from the big guy when Jeremy launched the side-on brain shot. The follow-up shots put the animal down within 10 yards from it's initial position. This was an improptu picture taken with the two rifles next to each other. I have to say that in 12 years of professional hunting in Africa, my CZ has never let me down at critical moments. Thanks guys. Pieter Kriel -

Hippo Valley Zimbabwe Buff 2009 - Added 3 months, 4 weeks ago.
Added by Old Dugga Boy Zimbabwe 09My first dangerous game hunt in Zimbabwe. After 8 days of walking 8-12 miles a day, bad weather, snares, poachers, dogs, and extremely wired buffalo I was able to connect with this old dugga boy at 18 yards with my CZ 416 Rigby. He was bedded down with a young guard bull that didn't want to leave him which made things a bit cheeky. -

Added by Anonymous UserIt will come as no surprise to CZ that rifle performance was super. I took a brown laminated .375 and ran tubbs bullets to break in the barrel. Then loaded a barnes 235 gr. triple X. Five rounds at 100 meters in less than a few centimeters or one inch at 100. 7 rounds and 7 animals on foot. Thanks for a great rifle. -
550's in Africa - Added 5 months, 3 weeks ago.
Added by Tim CritesThis was my 3rd Safari in Africa with Angus Brown Safaris. I took a nice Buffalo cow with my 416Rigby CZ 550 Safari Classic. This rifle performs flawlessly and accurately. I have fired about 100 rnds from it by now and have had no mishaps whatever. I look forward to more Dangerous Game hunting with it in the future. Also I had a CZ 550 American in 9.3X62. I took quite a lot of game with it and also performed perfectly. Eland 274yds. Springbuck 186 yds. Black Wildebeest 174 yds. Blesbuck 154 yds. Baboon 274 Yds. Bushbuck 87yds. All with a 286gr. Nosler PArtition. I am a former US. Marine and have taken shots unimaginally longer than this. But not with a 9.3 of course. This is an accurate rifle and the SS trigger is pricelesss when one has lilttle option on a shot that suddenly becomes more match like than expected. -
