Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds American Hunting Rifles AHR 458 Lott

Up for sale is a lightly used American Hunting Rifles (AHR) 458 Lott. This rifle if purchased new from AHR would be $7000+. I'm asking $3500

The rifle has a Mcgowen barrel that's 22" long. It has NECG front and rear sights. The action started as a CZ550, AHR worked it over to ensure reliable feeding and extraction. It has a beautiful wood stock that does an excellent job of handling recoil. The trigger is a custom by AHR, it's excellent and is tuned for no creep, and has a crisp break. The rifle has a Model 70 style, three position wing safety. All metal has been coated in a protective finish, and looks great. It has engraving on the bolt knob, and two cross bolts through the stock.I'm not the first owner but it shows very little use. It shoots great, and looks incredible doing it.

If you hunt dangerous game or collect fine firearms, this would be an excellent addition to your collection, at a great price.

I'm not a professional photographer, so the pictures aren't the best. The pictures DO NOT do the grain in the wood stock any justice. I can send more on request.

I'd be willing to come to the table on asking price on potential trades. For trades, I'd be interested in rifles of the same value or a rifle plus cash,I'd be interested in stainless bolt action hunting rifles ie. stainless classic M70, Christensen, customs etc. Not interested in blued wood stocked rifle. I'd also consider high end optics Swarovski, Nightforce etc. Again, of the same value of trade or add cash if your item is of lesser value.

The rifle will be shipped and insured on my dime to your ffl. It will ship in a hard sided pelican case ($200 case).

Wow. Words don’t do that stock justice. I wish I had a money tree.

I agree, I also think it looks even better in person.

Wayne at AHR really knows how to make a DGR. Unlike many gunsmiths or gunmakers, he works on the feed/ejection until it is perfect. He's light-years above the many "bolt together" gunsmiths out there today.

Yes he does, the reliability is the reason I went with this one, the great looks were really just a bonus. Even the gorgeous stock functions great in how it handles recoil. I've fired 20 rounds from the standing position in one range session. To me it doesn't recoil any worse than a 416 which I attribute to the stock design/shape

What is the LOP and the weight of the rifle?

9 lbs 5oz, LOP is 14"

Any photos of the other side of the stock?

I have had similar experience with the AHR 458 Lott and a 416 Rigby. I bought both rifles before my last African Safari in 2015. I shot both prior to making my choice, but both were very manageable, as to recoil. I would shoot 10 of each at a range session. The difference was negligible.
The stock on this 458 Lott is absolutely beautiful. GLWS.
