My first big bore

[Wyatt Smith]

I just bought my first big bore, after having owned three 375s and a 416.
I put in what I considered a low bid on a CZ 550 chambered in 500 AHR. I wound up winning it at $2200. I have not laid eyes on the rifle yet but figured if it was a 500 AHR it was probably built by AHR, I hope so anyway. I know it has a synthetic stock, hopefully Wayne’s AHR synthetic and not a B&C.
I’m comfortable with the price I payed either way as the CZ are getting hard to find and it could probably be parted out and recover most of the funds I payed for if need be.

Nice! If it’s an AHR you definitely hit the jackpot! Agree with your other point about the price as well.

You aren't kidding about a big bore! Congrats, it sounds like an excellent rifle at a great price!

Definitely a good grab, regardless, but the jealousy factor will be sky high if it's an AHR build. Did it come with dies and brass??

Does and brass are available from the seller separately. He’ll charge 3.50 per case and 100 for the dies. I’ll purchase all he has.

Definitely a good move. I don't see any left available on Wayne's website anymore.

I've half contemplated buying the remaining 270 Howell brass and dies he has listed just in case I cave one of these days and buy the rifle in said caliber Steve Bertram has for sale on GI that's been up forever.
