With scope unloaded it weighs 12 lbs. My handload is either a Swift 570g A-Frame or 570g TSX at 2300 fps recoil is 88.12 ft lbs recoil velocity is 21.74 fps. Recoil is sporty but it's still fun to shoot. I have loaded the TSX up to 2510 fps but at that speed the fun index went to zero...

My 500 Jeffery

270 Win beats them all

Is this a Ryan Breeding custom rifle? Is it built on a GMA Magnum Mauser Action? If so I'd have Ryan put a 24" 505 Gibbs barrel on it. Then you'd have something!

Pass Barrel too short, recoil would be hell (and I shoot a 500 Jeffery) and too gaudy for my taste

My .375 caliber 300g A-Frame that penetrated a 9' brown bear diagonally starting at the right shoulder still weighs 299.5 grains. Your friend got a 10 1/2 foot bear I'm jealous what a monster!

I don't know what type of single stage trigger Wayne put in my CZ550 but it's perfect. Breaks at a crisp 2 1/2 lbs Not for the uninitiated with my 500 Jeffery

Yes I hear he's very good.

True I paid $500 for my CZ#1 Upgrade, it was a steal

Good luck! I'm sure it will come out great. CZ 550s are great rifles. Here's my CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery. Wayne at AHR did the upgrades (3 pos M70 type safety, straighten and fill bolt, and single stage match trigger). It came with the barrel band an NECG front sight. Kevin Weaver worked on...

Mine hasn't, knock on wood, close to 500 full power rounds through my 500 Jeffery

44 Magnum is more effective for sure, but my Springfield V16 in 45 Super is easy to carry, shoot and a Buffalo Bore 255g hardcast at 1100 fps (from my 6" barrel) is nothing to sneeze at. I bought it from the Springfield Custom Shop a long time ago. I recently sent it back to have the front and...

And I thought I was a troll lol!

Nice bear! I don't have one but I always thought it would be a real nice cartridge in a BLR

I have two bolt action rifles I have total confidence in Never malfunctioned, always fire, quiet safeties, always accurate.

My CZ550 in 500 Jeffery And my Remington BDL in 270 Win I bought in 1968. It's the one on the bottom

My favorite. Can't drink any other scotch these days. 119 proof though :)

Beautiful animal awesome shot!

Well if an 1880s Sharps was effective out to 1000 yards with iron sights I think the only limitation of the 375 H&H would be the shooter

My CZ 550 in 500 jeffery weighs 12 lbs with Talley steel QR rings and a Leupold 1.5-5x scope unloaded no sling. I wouldn't want it any lighter. It came from the CZ Custom Shop with 2 mercury recoil reducers in it.

Nice! Congrats!

Thanks! Hope to take it elk hunting next year, maybe bear the next?

I believe they offer 2nd mortgages in their shop lol

270 Win is my favorite caliber for animals up to and including black bear and elk. A 150g Partition at 3000 fps is good medicine

BDL in 243, 105 g Speer spitzer at 3000 fps, dead elk

We (my sons and I) have both M70s and a CZ 550. I think the M70 is preferable in 375 H&H being lighter and a slimmer stock. I think the CZ 550 in 416 Rigby, 450 Rigby and 500 Jeffery is just right. The action is as solid as a bank vault. The action might need a bit of smoothing but a little...

Wouldn't it be great if they invested in new CNC machinery and put a CZ 550 in big bore calibers with the 3 pos M70 type safety and single stage match trigger Wayne put on for me at AHR. I think at $1500 they couldn't keep them on the shelves.

Yes what I heard is their machine tooling for the CZ action had reached end of life

Wayne at AHR would know for sure

I have the Swift reloading manual I can scan in a few pages if you'd like and post them

lol! And I thought I was a troll!

That's just because you're running the 500 jeffery at the original 1920 pressure levels. With a strong action and new brass you can easily attain 2500 fps with a 570g bullet with the 500 Jeffery.

If I was going for a caliber like a 458 Lott I would look for a good South Carolina Model 70 in 458 Win Mag used and have it rechambered. You don't need a massive action for that cartridge.

Thank you so much. I bought mine from the CZ Custom Shop 15 years ago ?

Just in case of bears ...

I still have the 2001 Excursion I bought new with the 7.3L Powerstroke. Don't use it much anymore

Here's a 300g A-Frame using 375 H&H Remington Premier Safari Grade Ammunition. I shot my brown bear at 13 yards through a bush. The bear was quartering towards me, we had startled each other. It entered just behind his right shoulder, the bullet was found in the hide of the opposite thigh...

The pinnacle of bolt action rifles.

CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery. AHR CZ#1 Upgrade (3 pos M70 type safety, single stage trigger, straighten and fill bolt), Kevin Weaver put on the ebony forend and grip cap and machined the magazine follower so it feeds and functions like a dream. My favorite rifle. I use it for everything.

I prefer A-Frames but on soft skinned game. Bears, feral hogs and elk the .509 caliber TSX's have performed well in my 500 Jeffery. I'm switching over to 570g A-Frames as long as they shoot as well as the TSXs I'm sure they will.

Wayne at AHR put mine on as well as a single stage match trigger which is flawless. He doesn't do it anymore unfortunately.

I have a billion Zimbabwe dollars

Beautiful. I hunted up near Molas pass one year about 10 miles west (backpacked in). Some of those roads are terrifying.

I’m very happy with my CZ550 in 500!Jeffrey. I bought it new from CZ Custom shop. I was lucky to have Wayne at AHR add his CZ upgrade #1 For $500. It’s a great rifle.

nice rig!

My 2000 LX470 (Lexus version of the Land Cruiser) 256,000 miles, barely broken in

Beautiful rifles, if I won the lottery it would be high on my list, but until then I'll stick with my sub $3000 CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery.

The 243 WSSM? Is that the DG version of the 243?

Or a 243

Sounds like a well place bullet from a 500 Jeffery or a 505 Gibbs is the answer :)
