I've done things many different ways at the reloading bench over the years, (some good, some bad things,LOL), but have always wondered what other opinions are on a basic issue when it comes to getting your ammunition ready for Safari. It's pretty well established that once brass has been...
Like New Courteney Jameson Boots, size 10.5 UK. Just feel a bit too big for me. Worn them around town for about 20 hours. They are in really good condition, like new as described. If you normally wear a US size 12 they would probably fit you great. I'm nearly always a US 11-11.5 in all...

This has always been on my list of things to do. Has anyone here ever been there and done this hunt, if so with which outfitter? Going to see whats all involved and start the process with drawing this winter......
Just booked this hunt for 2026 in Namibia, looking forward to going back there, it's a beautiful place. This particular hunt raises some questions for me as to a good choice of rifle. I plan on having a detailed discussion with my PH but thought I'd gather some info from folks that have been...
Just looking for insight as to how other fellas view what they are carrying for a rifle in "wild Africa". I have an addiction to nice moderately priced custom rifles. But for the last 8-10 years it's been more or less an obsession for everything 375 and up. On the hand full of safaris I've...
For sale here Gents is a very early production East African Model from Empire Rifles. Unknown the exact maker as the owner of Empire had nothing to do with manufacture and the records are gone, he simply sub'd the work out to various custom makers. That being said, whoever built this rifle new...
Would there be anyone on here that has access to an original 500 jeffery that would be stamped with the original Cordite load charge. Thinking I may try and duplicate it with IMR3031 like I do in double rifles, and see what happens. It has worked for other calibers I have tried but I can't...
I've been a hand loader for 25+ years and the one detail of the finished ammo that seems to take on a life of its own is concentricity. I fully realize that when shooting at extreme ranges 500+, it becomes a pretty important detail,....BUT, I'm interested in hearing other Hand Loaders opinions...
Hello All-
Here up for sale is a late Churchill Gunmakers (London) 404 Jeffery $6500. The rifle was restocked at some point by a stocker with a flair for style, I'm guessing before it made it to the USA. I bought the rifle in its original metallurgical condition and had ACGG member Steve...
Hello All-
I have here for sale the best example I have seen of a Sterling Davenport Mauser 98 500 Jeffery, priced at $9000.00. I will only ship to USA FFL. I am going to post a single pic, and if you are serious please PM me and I will provide a link to Slick Pic that has a entire photo...
Hello All
Contemplating a bit of engraving on a Custom pre-64 M70 project I have going, its going to be re-barreled to 404 Jeffery. Wondering if some of the members here have examples of rifles you own or have had done that are tactfully executed. I'm thinking more accent border engraving for...
Hello All---Have an interesting question regarding a Mauser 98 500 Jeffery made by Sterling Davenport. The express sights seem to high and don't come up as naturally as they should for me. The POI of 570gr bullets is perfect on target. But we all know how a big bore like this and the...
Hello All-
This may seem like an odd question but honestly, Is it even possible to buy the equipment, brass, slugs, wads, etc in order to load and shoot a nitro proofed paradox gun? These guns fascinate me and the more I read and look at them, the more I want one. I am not a pure collector, I...
Every now and again you run across something that really will seem to work and it wasn't easy to find. I thought is would be nice on this next double rifle safari in Zim to have access to my classic WR traditional hook sling but also be able to remove and stow quickly in a light weight...
Hello All.....Hoping someone can help me find the source for a set of Traditional Hook and Eye Sling swivels. Westley Richards sells a sling model with them on there but they tell me they don't sell the swivels as a separate item. I have a couple Boyt leather slings that are held with chicago...
Hello All
I need help getting ahold of Sterling Davenport or his son. The # I can find for his shop on the interweb just rings endlessly. I recently purchased a 500 Jeffery Mauser, extraordinary piece masterfully converted to a center feed with coffin bottom metal. Floor plate doesn't open...
Hello All- I have recently acquired a Davenport M98 500 Jeffery and wow is what comes to mind when it comes out of the safe and go shoot it. I won't bore you with a bunch of hum drum but hoping to find someone on here that knows how to reach Mr Davenport or his son. The phone number I can...
Hello ALL
Trying to start gathering information on 500 jeffery hand loading information, particularly for woodleigh 535gr bullets. Would like to have a reasonable load at 2200ish. Can anyone snap a pic out of the woodleigh loading manual, I can't find one anywhere?
Hello All--I am in early stages of planning a trip for next year and would like input on what is considered a normal daily rate for hunting a wilderness area for Buffalo and other plains game in Zimbabwe or Mozambique? I'm sure much of it is dependent on PH outfit, accomodations,etc, but there...
Hello All-
Sure there is a thread on here somewhere regarding this topic but wanted to pull some current information out of you fellas, which I'm sure have more knowledge and experience than I.
My goal is to go back to Africa and hunt buffalo, possibly 2022 when and if all this crap going on...
