I kept the rifle basically the same, it started out as a basic CZ Safari Magnum (I added dual crossbolts, action job and mercury recoil reducer and barrel band), for about $1100. AHR added their CZ #1 kit (straighten and fill bolt, 3 pos M70 safety, and single stage trigger). It has an NECG masterpiece rear sight and a HI-Vis orange bead front. Harlan's putting on a McGowen 1 in 10" twist .500 Jeffery barrel, making it feed of course, adding a second mercury recoil reducer in the butt of the stock and putting on a Pachmayr XLT (thicker decelerator pad) recoil pad. All told it's still less than just ordering a 500 Jeffery from CZ, but it took a lot more time and patience. Mine should weigh about 11.25 lbs without scope, rings or sling, so it should kick a whole lot less than yours grandveneur!
