Well, received my upgraded rifle today and I can honestly say it's everything I wanted. The rifle balances really well with the 23" barrel, and points very nicely. The action has fed one of everything I've tried to feed through it (235-300gr, spitzer, TTSX, TSX, round, flat, and empty cases). Side by side comparison between this rifle and my stock CZ 550 Lott is night and day. Love the reshaped bolt handle and really love the trigger. Hoping to get to the range early enough tonight before trap starts to send a few down range.

Now to just convince my wife I need one of Wayne's Big Game rifles for my 30th birthday to match it! Well, I've got almost two years to do that, so I better get going...

Ok, a few quick (crappy) cell phone pics. I apologize, my good camera is packed away in our impending house moving coming up in a few weeks.

Brandon,

That turned out really nice. Congrats!

Been trying to resist the temptation to have Wayne do a short barreled 458 with a McM Express stock. Do I need it? No, but I want one really bad...

Let me know what you think of the B&C stock on that. I've been toying with the idea of a 404 Jeff, and that stock is really calling to me, esp since B&C sells to the public now. I don't have to go through CZ to get it.

I think B&C nailed that one.

If I was building another .404J, I'd look at it, too.

Nice lines, tough stock.

I've been thinking about letting my CZ 550 American 9.3x62mm go and hanging on to my pre 64 model 70 375 H&H for the big critters. Not that there's anything wrong with the CZ. If anyone wants to do an AHR upgrade to this rifle, they are likely to never find another one that shoots as accurately. Brain shots on a croc would be easy. This rifle has been to Africa with its original owner 2 times. He installed a red hi-viz front sight for quicker target acquisition when he went to Africa. I've shot elk with it and it puts them down. Never recovered the bullets. They (the bullets) kept going and going.. grin

I truly hate to let this one go, but if anyone is interested let me know... I'll start a new thread with plenty of pics and details.... Thanks guys..

Lastest scope combo after "musical chairs", scope version, at my shop. Victory 1.5-6 may be the final one. Had to go back to steel Weaver bases/Warne QD's because I needed some offset. I cut the extension base flush with the front receiver ring to prevent overhang. I had to cut a new recoil groove.

I don't mind at all. I'll gladly look at nicely assembled and outfitted working rifles all day!

There's just something about "working" rifles. For sure.... The 9.3x62mm cartridge is one of my favorites too. They seem to be very inherently accurate. Mine thinks its a varmint rifle.. laugh
