    WJ Jeffery 6.5x54 MS

    As others have told you, this is a factory WJ Jeffery scope mount. I have the same set up on a 333 Jeffery that also still has the scope. Super cool rifle in great condition. Congratulations on the neat acquisition.

    Also, the small crack behind the tang appears to have been stabilised a long time ago. My guess would be that it was done by Westley Richards when they did the conversion and fitted the scope mounts decades ago.

    Good Gun Deals This Week

    Thanks Altitude, it is a super nice rifle with a great history. It also has almost no recoil when shooting. Fun little gun and great caliber. The only reason I am selling is because I have a vintage small bore Rigby Rising Bite that makes this one a little redundant in my collection.

    John Rigby 450 NE Rising Bite

    That rifle is absolutely incredible. Being the caretaker of such a rifle is quite a privilege. :cool::cool:

    Historic and Vintage Rigby Rising Bite .470 NE Double Rifle

    I agree. He was quite a fascinating hunter and explorer. I would like to do a page for him in the “Legends” section of the forums here but not sure if that is OK to do and haven’t had a chance.

    Pre-war WJ Jeffery 404 Magazine Rifle

    PCC, that is a dandy Type A. I am big time jealous of that one. Thank you for sharing

    Pre-war WJ Jeffery 404 Magazine Rifle

    I agree that the sight hood was 100% replacement on that one. I always wondered if the sights weren’t replacement as well but likely done by Jeffery during a refurb in prewar times. It came out of a collection from a gentleman that had passed away and was sourced for me by a friend in the UK. I...

    Pre-war WJ Jeffery 404 Magazine Rifle

    Yes, that one has found a new owner as I have found a little nicer one and “upgraded”. Unfortunately you can’t keep them all. I do have another prewar Jeffery 404 for sale right now but it is not as collectible as the one in this thread.

    Even Elmer Was Sucked In?

    I agree that I do not think they are putting a lot of value of that “provenance” based on the estimate. They do miss some of these pieces of provenance though. A few years ago I bought Keith’s 577 NE Rigby Webley Farquarson from RIA. It was also previously owned by author John Ross. There was...
