You may want to try AHR. I have bought CZ550 takeoffs from them before.

You might as well buy a used cz just for the barrel and sell the action and the stock. What do you need it for. Will a cz 416 Rigby barrel work. I have factory take off i bought before they compleatly stop making them.

I apologize for the late response to your question. I have a virgin cz550 complete receiver I bought when the last batch popped up on gunbroker. The bolt face is 375 h&h so to avoid modifying the bolt I figured the biggest caliber I can squeeze into the receiver is 458 lott. I have a cz550 in .416 rigby and absolutely love it so I wanted to do another large safari caliber. Originally the plan with this receiver was build a 505 gibbs or 500 Jeffery before I realized how much meat needed to come off the bolt face.

I understand. It will run you $800 for a cz 550 458 lott barrel. I believe it is new. I paid 700 for it to build a 450 rigby with it. Bought reamers and all. But ended up buying Mauser 98 expert for 13k+ from JD outfitters on gun broker. I can sell you that barrel if you want for $800 + you pay shipping ffl to ffl.

After thoughts i dont need an ffl to ship it as it is only a barrel not an action.

Goodness, that barrel is gorgeous! Unfortunately I can't swing that currently. I didn't realize they were so much more than the 416 rigby barrels. 100% not doubting your price, I just didnt know. I truly appreciate your willingness to allow me to buy such a rare barrel though.

 

[krish]

I get it. I am glad you did not take it. I was not sure i wanted to sell it. Good luck in your search.
In my openion building 458 lott on the action you
have is not cost efficiant. Better to build a 404 jeffery or 500 jeffery.

Thank you for the kind words. Is there enough meat on the 375h&h bolt face to open it up to .575" for the 500 jeff in your opinion? Its .043" bigger.

 

[krish]

375 bolt of cz can be opened up for 404,416,or 500j. Cz built 505 on the same bolt. It is not just the bolt. You may need feed rails, magazine and magazine follower work as well. In my openion 404j is the best option. Next is 500j.

Thank you for your wisdom!

 

[krish]

Another member got the same action you got and sent it to AHR to build 404j .it ill cost you from 7 to 8k on top of what ypu paid for the action.

I would recommend buying one of Krish’s complete rifles. You will be way ahead, especially if you send it to Wayne for upgrades.
