Hi, I have a CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery. I would like to be able to have it bedded in the B&C Kevlar stock but when I'm done hunting in Alaska, want to be able to clean up the metal and pop it back in my nice walnut stock. Is that possible? Can Wayne at AHR make that happen? I figure I can use CLP break free on the metal. I'm just concerned about a wood stock swelling and changing Point of Aim.


Thanks!

Should be a good idea.
Might be easy as you please.
I can think of no reason why not, unless the barrel contour was too big (doubt that from seeing pictures of your rifle),
or there is something special about the CZ .500 Jeffery magazine box that cannot be fitted into the metal-sided magazine well of the B&C stock.

Maybe the metal magazine well could serve as magazine box sidewalls?
That's the way Jeffery did the earliest 404 Jeffery standard M98 rifles.
They had wooden-sided magazines with only the steel front and rear of the box attached to bottom metal.

Thanks Rip, I'll give Wayne at AHR a call and see what he thinks.

I've never had a properly bedded and tightened down, wood stocked rifle change point of impact.I am not saying it can't happen but I would be surprised if it did.All my rifles are still keeping their POI for years and nothing has changed.

Peter Flack I believe does his 602s just like this. Changes stocks depending on the country he’s hunting in.

When you get the B&C stock, it comes in nice cardboard packaging,
good for storing the pretty wood.
I have a .500 Mbogo 3-Inch CZ 550 Magnum in one of those B&C stocks.
It has a Pac-Nor #6 sporter contour, 23" length, 1:9" twist:



I sanded the barrel channel until it fit,
and bedded the custom barrel lug into the forearm endoskeleton.
The aluminum bedding block runs full length.
There is recoil lug recess in the barrel channel
but it is meant for the factory CZ barrels.
If yours is not factory, some minor fitting may be required.
If your .500 Jeffery uses a magazine box that fits within the
CZ .416 Rigby size (I think it does, unlike the .505 Gibbs)
then there should be no problems.

If I ever get a .500 Jeffery put together, it will be done on a CZ 550 Magnum action with a B&C stock.

Nice looking rifle RIP, once again thanks. I think I'm going to go for it (the Kevlar stock) and just keep my metal the pretty blue it is. I can CLP Break Free and paste wax that. I just don't want the rifle to change POA. Great idea about keeping the synthetic box to store the walnut stock in too.
