If you’re looking for a weapon that can explode a cape buffalo like a watermelon, this is your gun!

I’m exaggerating of course, but this is a hammer. Straight from CZ custom shop with gorgeous wood. A total of 15 to 20 rounds have been sent down the pipe.

I’m selling because I have a .458 Lott that I prefer, and am marking room in the safe.

$1,750 delivered to your FFL.

No problems with the feeding and the action is smooth. I have 2 other CZ 550s - a .375 H&H that I sent up to AHR for a #3 and a .416 Rigby that I sent to AHR for a #2. So I’m very familiar with the questionable feeding of a CZ out of the box. For me, the 375 was sticky, and the .416 was great out of the box. Wayne turned them both into fantastic rifles.

As for this .450 Rigby, it feeds well - no problems. I have about 30 rounds of Hornady 480 grain, no dies.
 
how's the recoil compared to the Lott?

It’s fairly comparable.

The Lott feels like it doesn’t push quit as hard, but it definitely hits with a faster snap.

For reference, my .458 Lott is a Ruger RSM that I sent to AHR in Montana a few years back for a little extra work.
 
I'll take it. Don't need but do need to play with it;)

If I don't I know I'm going be kicking myself. Passed on a couple at a Cabelas couple years ago and been regretting it....
 
Just sent you a PM with my contact info. Thank you @ActionBob!
 
Congrats! That is a very good deal!
 
This is one of these times I am glad I am left handed as I probably would have gotten it as it is a beautiful rifle.

And, I need a third .458 caliber like a hole in my head.:LOL:
 
Nice rifle, good price and super calibre.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
