Good morning, all,
In an effort to downsize, I am considering selling my CZ 550 in .458 Win Mag customized by Tim at Matrix. I am seeking input from the group on fair pricing, as I recently acquired a .470 double and already regularly use my .416 Rigby. The rifle has been hunted, so it's not perfect but remains in very good condition.
Rifle Details:
- CZ 550 Safari Magnum with a Bavarian-style stock (exceptional factory wood)
- Condition: Minor dings in the wood from hunting (no cracks or major dents); metal is 99.5% with two faint scratches on the bolt handle
- Accuracy: Sub-MOA with Barnes 400gr TSX and Barnes Banded Solids; shoots TBBC and Hornady DGS/DGX right at MOA.
Custom Work:
- Barrel cut to 23"
- Matrix custom banded front sight with red fiber optic and hood
- Custom single-blade express rear sight (regulated for 50 yards)
- Barrel band sling mount
- Midnight Blue Cerakote
- Glass and pillar bedded
- Timney trigger
- 3-position AHR safety
- Bolt straightened and filled
- Machined bolt and follower; action tweaked for smooth feeding (especially with round/flat profile loads like TBBC or flat-nosed solids)
Optics:
- Leupold Patrol 6HD 1-6x24 Illuminated FireDot mounted on Warne QD rings
I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions on a starting price.
Thanks, gents.
