I commissioned AHR to build this rifle for me. I ordered it back in December and I picked it up from my FFL today. It's a 300H&H built on a CZ550 magnum receiver. It has a 25" Lilja medium/heavy contour barrel (1/10" twist). The stock is dark walnut. The sights are NECG and AHR custom with a white bead front sight. They are adjustable for windage and elevation. All metal has been GunCote finished. I chose not to get a barrel band because it's not a hard kicking heavy caliber gun. Inletted sling swivels will work just fine. Black Decelerator recoil pad. I wanted a working rifle and Wayne nailed it. It's overbuilt for the caliber and weight weanies will not approve but it's perfect for me. Heavy receiver, sturdy barrel and a robust stock. AHR gunsmithing and an inherently accurate caliber should make it a shooter. I'll update as soon as I get some range time. It's subtle but this is a phenomenally well built rifle. I could not be more pleased and it was worth every penny.

Looks great, congrats on the new addition!
 
That is a great looking rifle.
 
Wow, beautiful rifle! Congrats!!!!
 
Fantastic build!
 
That's one superb rifle you've got. The rest of us can only drool.

Just before they stopped production of the 550, CZUB had a few factory produced 550s in 300 H&H featured on their website. I had never seen them listed in my country and the local CZ agent had no interest in bringing them in. I would have loved to have even had a factory 300 H&H barrel to fit to a 602 but again no deal.
 
Beauty!
 
Unfortunately, Wayne is no longer working on CZ-550s. Yes, that is a beautiful rifle!
 
I have been watching that one for months and its a bit rich for my blood right now. It was at $4500 or something like that when I first started watching it. Such a shame CZ does not make rifles like that anymore. I missed the boat.
 
Gorgeous, the world needs more rifles like this one!

Do you still have this rifle? I'm in the KC area on business and I'm very interested.

I didn't get drawn for Wyoming this year.




Are you planning to hunt Unit 4 this fall?



(Thinking about coming out)
