Just got back from my local dealer; in hand is the new CZ 550 from Wayne at AHR.
375 H&H; 22", Quarter rib, hooded front with tritium insert; Laminated stock (Black / Gray), with ebony forend and grip cap; Nightforce 2.5-10 x 32 (compact) and Talley rings; of course Wayne's usual CZ makeover.
This will be just the ticket for Alaska - All weather and tough as nails (not to mention that it looks awesome)
This is my first rifle from AHR, but will not be my last. His work is fantastic (DETAILS)! Thanks Wayne. . . Dave

P.S. I'll do photos later

Yes, Wayne has the techniques down for making the CZ 500 into a reliable, slick, and good-looking hunting rifle, for sure.
