Beretta682EWayne/ahr
Wayne is a great gunsmith, businessman and person - period.
I sent my Ahr modified cz 550 375 h&h - back to him after 4 safaris - it was beat up.
Got a brand spanking new custom rifle with a great wood stock and Duane Wiebe custom mental bottom.
Pictures to follow in 4-5 days when I get back home.
I am very impressed with Wayne's new work and I have been very impressed with his work for last 5 years.
Thanks Wayne.

Charles_HelmWayne has helped me out more than once and will do so again.
Wayne has built 3 rifles for me all are beautifully finished and feed and shoot perfectly. When Wayne delivers a quality product at the quoted price and has always delivered on time. Highly reccomended

mulerider777A person would have to go and look awfully hard and then maybe not find a better person than Wayne.
He built a .338-06 for me and did the big up-grade on my 9.3 x 62. And they shoot!
Agree 100%. I have a .416 Rigby and a .30-'06 from Wayne. Both are amazing rifles and the '06 has especially beautiful wood.
Both rifles are going to Zimbabwe in July.

Talented, fast, and reasonably-priced. Not much to look at, but you can't have everything :-)

NakihunterI live in New Zealand and bought a CZ 416 Rigby a couple of years ago. I needed to slick up the bolt etc. Wayne was most helpful with advise on email and replied to my many questions and photos. His help was most useful. He even helped me get a new foresight bead without all the export restrictions as he has the license to do so for items of low value. He also sent me some spare CZ rear sights of varying height to try & match up the new fore sight!
I find his work very reasonably priced and wish he was here in NZ doing such work!

bwanamrm+5 for old Bitterroot aka Wayne. I had him build me a .375 RUM a few years back and it shoots as good as it looks!

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.
Wayne has built 2 rifles for me and I could not be more pleased with his work or with his availability. +++++

Beretta682ECant wait to go hunt and put some marks on this fine gun.
I should have had some before pictures.
Burkina was especially hard on the gun - being strapped with tire tubes to a land rover for 14-15 hrs a day was not fun on the gun.

Beretta682EHere you can compare the newly redone rifle to a 458 lott that has the cz stock on it.
In hindsight I wish I had not done a 458 lott but another 375 as a spare. I have 500 rounds of lott so I guess I will keep it.

ClaymanWow, that's a fine looking rifle and a testament to AHR's commitment to quality.

Mike, real men drink Fanta! Hey, if that's your rifle, where's the banana clip for it? :-)

Beretta682EBiebs it easier just not backing you up at 570 yards than getting Wayne to make a banana clip

Focus on shooting and developing basic shooting skills. Not cutting down trees at your private estate. Also that blaser might be too accurate for you

Brandon.GleasonAbsolutely BEAUTIFUL work. Debating between a package 1 and 2 on my 375 now. Biggest determining factor will be whether or not I can secure one of the CZ aramid stocks before I ship it off.

chuck375My CZ in 500 Jeffery upgraded by Wayne only holds 3 down. If I need more than that throw some ketchup on me ... I would like an ebony fore end and grip cap though

Regards,
Chuck

Wayne did two CZs for me on short notice and made his delivery estimate exactly each time. I had the pleasure of meeting him for lunch once when he came through town, he is a gentleman. I encourage all of you to buy a rifle or five from him.
