Good afternoon,

In a somewhat painful effort to downsize, I am selling my CZ 550 in .458 Win Mag customized by Tim at Matrix. The rifle has been hunted, so it's not perfect but remains in very good condition.

I have tried to show the stock dings and scratches on the bolt handle in my pictures.

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 a couple of scratches on the bolt handle
- Accuracy: Sub-MOA with Barnes 450 grain TSX and Barnes Banded Solids; shoots 500 grain 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
- Jewelled 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


Also, I have a good bit of ammo that I will be selling in another listing. I will make a package deal for the buyer of this rifle. Please feel to DM for any additional info or pics. I will be glad to take phone calls or video chat.

Asking $4900 shipped to your FFL. I am open to offers, but no trades at this time, please.

Thank you.

That is a beautiful rig, my friend! Ready to roll for any game on the planet. GLWS! (You cannot build this rifle for that cost.)
 
Monday morning bump and price reduction. Let’s move this rifle.

$4500 shipped.
 
Gentlemen,

It appears I have overvauled this rifle. Please feel free to shoot me an offer or DM me advice on where pricing should be!

Thanks!
 
All,

I am going to withdraw this ad and come back with a better plan/price in the near future.

My thanks to those that helped me out with advice!

Unrelated question how does the cerecoat affect the finer detsils in the metal??

Very little at all. The only area where it is even noticeable is on the finer lettering on the barrel, and even then, you have to be looking closely to see it.

Ive been wondering how the blue like cerecoat looks on a gun and your photos are a good example.
 
Sending you a pm.
 
Couldn’t pass this up so @Halligan1975 and I reached an agreement! Great guy, real gentleman, enjoyed our convo!

Thank you for the LIKE on my old post. It brought back memories as I lost her a year and a half ago, at 18+ years.
