I've posted this gun before. It's an American Hunting Rifles full house custom 550 CZ, 9.3x62 with AHR trigger and barrel, NECG irons and fancy walnut stock. I showed photos to Wayne at AHR. He remembered the gun (probably the wood) but didn't remember who he made it for. I told him I traded for it at Trop Gun Shop in Elizabethtown, PA. I sent him the serial number. He looked it up and it was made for Trop in 2011. I asked what would be a fair ask, he said $4.000, replacement is around $4,500 with no guarantee of this grade of walnut, plus a wait. I'm asking $3,750 plus shipping. I will consider trades, such as good 28 ga. scatterguns, quality handguns and CRF bolt guns. I'm looking for donor rifles, maybe sorta heavy 30-06/.270's that would do well rebored to larger '06 based calibers.

He does. And he remembered this gun, no doubt from the wood, an unusually fine piece of lumber. This gun would look great, photographed leaning against an African trophy...  DF

More info. With JB's load (third down from the top), 250 gr. NAB over 60.5 gr. Varget, this gun shot a three shot .40" group at a hundred, another three shot .62" group at a hundred. I have those targets. DF ![[Linked Image]](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f35/rush2830/93x62-barsness-handloader250.jpg)

Ok, I think I found the rifle to go with my 7x57!
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

Beautiful rifle. I'm surprised to see you letting this one go.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I hear ya...
I have way more rifles than I can use. This one has become a safe queen, could do someone a lot of good. It needs to be used, needs to go to Africa...
When I found out Wayne built it for Trop, I realized it wasn't used, but new. I got no history from Trop.
So, it's been fired maybe 50 times.

![[Linked Image]](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f35/rush2830/004_3.jpg) 100 yd. targets mentioned earlier with JB's 250 gr. NAB/Varget 60.5 gr. load, running around 2,650 fps. I didn't clock these. It shoots. I never tried TTSX's or NPT's. I'm sure it would also shoot those very well. The gun has a solid feel and Wayne's trigger is excellent. DF

Free bump for an absolute beauty!
My buddy had the intermediate package done to his 550 and dropped it in a McSwirly.
AHR does absolutely top notch work!
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.
Stupidity has no average...
