For Sale Safari Classic CZ 550 In .505 Gibbs

[vette447]

I have for sale a CZ 550 out of the Safari Classics “custom shop” for CZ big bores. It features a 24” barrel, fancy walnut stock with nice dark grain throughout, mercury recoil reducer installed in the stock, matte finished metal, super slick and smooth action, CZ set trigger, express sights (one standing and two folding leaves marked at 100, 200, and 300 respectively), proper barrel band front sling swivel, and I believe they do some upgraded work on the actions on these to be considered “Safari Classics”. These Safari Classics CZ 550s in the largest cartridges are getting very hard to come by.

This is a truly upgraded rifle in a classic big bore cartridge suitable to hunt the toughest game on earth. It appears unfired to me. I have not fired it but I am the second owner so can’t say 100% that it has never been fired. It really feels good and substantial in your hands. Please see pics below:

Price is $4,650 plus actual shipping to your FFL (US only and only where allowed, thanks). Please PM me with questions. Thanks!

Mighty nice! Magazine capacity three?

Think it might fit 4 if the magazine has been worked on can't see why not with such a nice build.

Happy that you are unfortunately on the other side of the big ocean...would make a nice companion to my 500 jeff.....

Haha. I hear you!

I should say, I had "US only" in my description. However, I have in fact, sold rifles to people abroad before. I am actually OK doing that as long as all that I have to do is get the rifle to the exporter for proper export and the buyer handles all of their own fees and logistics with the exporter.

Yeah the shop I use here brings in a selection of his stuff from there...so has an exporter....he brought my AHR 404 in via him for me...would be very tempted to go that route...but finally picked up a new toy from him....so kinda short on the for the moment.....but if its still around later in year....mmm the sensible monkey on my shoulder is shouting no in my ear... ...
