If you’re looking for a weapon that can explode a cape buffalo like a watermelon, this is your gun!

I’m exaggerating of course, but this is a hammer. Straight from CZ custom shop with gorgeous wood. A total of 15 to 20 rounds have been sent down the pipe.

I’m selling because I have a .458 Lott that I prefer, and am marking room in the safe.

$1,750 delivered to your FFL.

No problems with the feeding and the action is smooth. I have 2 other CZ 550s - a .375 H&H that I sent up to AHR for a #3 and a .416 Rigby that I sent to AHR for a #2. So I’m very familiar with the questionable feeding of a CZ out of the box. For me, the 375 was sticky, and the .416 was great out of the box. Wayne turned them both into fantastic rifles.

As for this .450 Rigby, it feeds well - no problems. I have about 30 rounds of Hornady 480 grain, no dies.
 
how's the recoil compared to the Lott?

It’s fairly comparable.

The Lott feels like it doesn’t push quit as hard, but it definitely hits with a faster snap.

For reference, my .458 Lott is a Ruger RSM that I sent to AHR in Montana a few years back for a little extra work.
 
I'll take it. Don't need but do need to play with it;)

If I don't I know I'm going be kicking myself. Passed on a couple at a Cabelas couple years ago and been regretting it....
 
Just sent you a PM with my contact info. Thank you @ActionBob!
 
Congrats! That is a very good deal!
 
This is one of these times I am glad I am left handed as I probably would have gotten it as it is a beautiful rifle.

And, I need a third .458 caliber like a hole in my head.:LOL:
 
Nice rifle, good price and super calibre.
