AHR .458 Lott price check

[RR 314]

I’ve been thinking about selling my full custom AHR in .458 Lott. Beautiful rifle. No CZ markings on barrel. Trying to get a realistic opinion on price to decide if I am going to let it go. Any input is appreciated. Here are a couple pictures.

That obviously should have stated no CZ stamp on ACTION. Ooof.

I think AHR bought cz actions directly and built some rifles. It may not have Kansas city stamped
on it.

Thanks Krish, I was hoping you would see this. Thanks. I don’t have your collection, but do have two AHRs without CZ 500 on the action. .

You are wecome. I have a few of those. That is how I know. Depending on what all done to it the price varies. Your action looks more like granite mountain action modified front bridge. I may be wrong.

Man, I wish you were right. Just my poor camera skills. They just look so much better IMHO without the CZ banner/billboard.

Beautiful Rifle.

Barrel length? LOP? Wayne built it?

 

[krish]

Very nice stock.

Barrel length? LOP? Wayne built it?

What Scott asked?
Wayne build or before Wayne bought AHR?

 

[RR 314]

I don’t know the build date. Not sure if AHR still looks up build sheets like they have in the past. LOP fits me perfectly so I would guess it is 14 inches+. I will confirm barrel length and LOP this afternoon.

Mark, I go to Houston (from Austin area) every week or so and could swing by El Campo one of these days if you may have some insight.

 

[RR 314]

LOP is 14” and barrel is 21.25”.

I don't understand. I think the world of the CZ 550 action. Any knowledgeable buyer would know that it's a CZ action. What action would the buyer think it was?

 

[Mark Biggerstaff]

Very Nice rifle for sure. I called Wayne and he verified it is one of his builds. He did not give me a build date. I must resist on making an offer. Just to many other needs for funds right now.

Looks like a CZ action to me. The font of the serial number and the the indentation on the rear bridge for a scope mount to lock into especially. There's probably a name for that I just don't know it.

Solid rifle, sir.

Yeesh guys;
It's a CZ action. It just doesn't have all the CZ 550 etc markings on it. Nobody was saying it is not a CZ action.

It just looks classier without all that marking it up! AHR would order unmarked actions from CZ to build their AHR brand rifles on.

The other option was/is to send them your own CZ rifle and have them do their upgrades so it is essentially the same as an AHR, but is actually a CZ with AHR Upgrades.

I would think this unmarked rifle should be worth more than one marked CZ 550.

Rigby builds their rifles on Mauser 98 and other actions. AHR is not Rigby, but this part of AHR's business is similar. They both build rifles on actions they buy from others.

Exactly. Weren’t AHR’s full custom rifles called “DGR” (dangerous game rifle)? I wonder if he made/makes any small bore rifles?

Assuming it's not a CZ barrel but a match grade barrel fitted by Wayne I think $5,500 - $6,000 is a fair buyers' price.

Damn.. My 401K might have to shrink.. LOL.. Then wife would wanna kill me.. LOL.. That rifle is GORGEOUS!!

 

[RR 314]

Thanks to all. Mediumbore, I have been in communication with Mark Biggerstaff and told him one of my knowledgeable friends told me it should sell “quickly” at $5750. I don’t know what his view of time is, but smack middle of your range. Thanks to all!
