Default RE: What do you shoot: poll kinda?

Elkampmaster, In fact, I'm planning on purchasing a CZ in .416 RIgby soon, I've been looking for a new one recently, but hate that all american makers want more than a grand for their big bores, and I'm leary about buying a savage in big bore ($502 for a .375H&H), I've found a couple CZ's at the closest cabela's who naturally marked them up to $691. The only thing that I feel that the CZ lacks that the Winchester has is the weight, the CZ feels like a fat deer rifle, not a big bore...but it's never bothered me before so why not right? I love the express rangefinding sights on the CZ's too, even if they don't work as well as I'd like, it's a good idea in my book.

I'm probably never going to own a .416 Remington magnum, mostly because I'm in love with traditional rounds...I've heard guys boasting either way that one is more powerful or more accurate, but it's always the gun they own, so I take it with a gallon of salt. I've always had someone build rounds for me, and have just recently gotten into reloading myself, so it won't be that big of deal to me as far as ammo availability goes. As far as I'm concerned, it's kinda like comparing the .300 win and the .30-06 (both of which I've owned BTW), one's more powerful in some loads, the other in others, and one's more accurate in some while one's in others, and no deer is going to tell the difference, while no moose nor bear will know the difference in the .416's, it's a big @$$ bullet Moving right along (for a fat guy), and hitting like a truck...I'll just stick with what I like.

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
