This looks to be a great build in the .500 Jeffery caliber rifle for sure..I like the 21" inch barrel, mine will eventually be cut and crowned at 22 " inches , it will be a working rifle for walk and stalk hunts as well as a fun shoot and entertaining rifle at our club shoots ..

Looking great Deon, I am going for a working rifle. Like my 404 Jeffery Westley Richards it does not have whistles and bells with golden inlay. The American Black Wall Nut wood will not be as nearly nice as your wood, since I will be using it on walk and stalk hunts . If it scratches I want to...

I only need to improve the ghost ring , ring and stem , the ghost ring as I have it currently on the .375 H&H Magnum I use shoot warthogs with while walk and stalk. No, I do not buy any item from a shop if I can build it myself. The whole reason I am building my own .500 Jeffery is because I can.

This is what the v-express sight with flip up distance indicators look like

Here is the 1/4 rib on my .375 H&H Magnum..the v-express sight with flip up distance indicators slide in onto the 1/4 rib via a dove tail slide.When fitting the ghost ring on the shroud of the action I will drift out the v-express sight, slide in a flat based steel insert..

Yes, it is a great option...I would want to build this .500 Jeffery like the Traditional rifle from the early 1904 . It still will be possible to build the 1/4 rib and the v-express sight , this combination van slide into the quarter rib like my .375 H&H Magnum. It will be the same design..

Great information and historical facts of the .500 Jeffery. My final specifications for the .500 Jeffery barrel I ordered is : Members, I am in the process of planning a .500 Jeffery build..it will be well received if you can upload some of your .500 Jeffery rifles and dimensions of the...

IvW, the only reason I am building a .500 Jeffery is , I have a 404 Jeffery.

Yes, I am currently reloading different loads for shooting in my 8x57 JS, the 200gn Balastix bullet might be an interesting option..

dchamp, yes it is really tragic that South Africa slided into a broken country with a failed state . I am fortunate to be able to have finances to spend on getting myself independent of the state and municipality..but there are many people who do not have the finances to achieve this. I am...

The 8x57JS is a great caliber , it was my first Mauser, there are few calibers that can stand next to it. A bush caliber par excellence, I have two 8x57 JS Mausers, I love them to bits..I am sure my 8x68S will be as great caliber as the 8x57JS rifles. I am currently reloading a 200gn bullet...
