Yes, with some 'smithing. I have built many on this action although I usually start with the 416 Rigby action. Duane Wiebe just built a very nice 505 starting with the 550 belted magnum action. You can see it in the Custom Rifles forum.

We have actions in stock. I have built the 375 Rum on the CZ 550. It's a hammer. Magazine box length is 3.85".

Yes sir... you built one for me and not only is it a hammer, it's a damned accurate one!

Still have belted magnum and standard size. The Rigby's are sold but the bolt face on the belted magnum can be opened up to Rigby rim dimension, or larger

First I have noticed this; whose idea was it to put the billboard on the side of the receiver? That is UGLY!
First thing I would do it get rid of that.

That is why you have files.

I was just giving you a free bump to the top.

Are any for a 500 Jeffery or single stacked?

I have used the magnum action for the 500 Jeffery in the past and they work well with plenty of 'smithing. The action is really too long for the Jeffery but if you modify the magazine box length and the ejector length they work. The standard length action is the same size ( pretty much) as the Mauser 98 so you can go that route also. Still lots of work to get the Jeffery functioning properly.

I make a single-stack magazine box that I use for the 600 Overkill but it is a little wide and long on the inside for the Jeffery. You can make one the proper size, along with a follower.

I am out of the "Rigby" actions; just sold the last one. Still plenty of the belted magnum (375 H&H) and standard actions (30-06).

Haaaaaa. Well done. I need a new FFL transfer crew. As Jim on here can attest, my guys have struggled with the last couple I have bought sans the banner. :-).

Bitterroot are you building them as well if they are bought?

Nope, all done with the builds.

So what are you doing nowadays at AHR? Inquiring minds want to know….

Indeed. Hope all is well. I thought you were still crafting full customs? Let me know if you come across some .700 AHR brass hidden under the bottom of those actions. :-)

All is well.
I will be finishing up the several custom rifle orders that I have, then focus on building some projects that I've always wanted to do, mostly personal, but a few will come up for sale now and then. I will still make parts for the custom gun trade and expand on that I hope.
Also planning on spending a lot more time in the woods.

I will not be taking any more custom orders.

Cheers,
Wayne

Congratulations! Well done and well deserved. You have left a heck of a mark on the industry and your rifles will be cherished for generations (obviously) and folks will long for the day when you were actively creating rifles. :-). Seriously, kudos for a great career! Enjoy the next chapter(s)!
