The .333 Jeffrey single square bridge is a wonderfully balanced and historically significant rifle, elegant with purposeful design. Introduced in the early 20th century, the .333 Jeffery cartridge—firing a 250-grain bullet at respectable velocity—was a favorite among hunters who needed flat trajectory and reliable penetration for medium to large game. Built on a refined Mauser action, the single square bridge variant offered a sleek yet practical platform for scope mounting without compromising classic lines. Rifles in this chambering are rare today, I am proud to own one, it's like holding a quiet tribute to a transitional era in British sporting arms, where craftsmanship met evolving ballistic thinking.

What a beautiful piece of history!!! Thank you for sharing this!!
 
I love sharing my collection with others who have an affinity for this genre. This was my first 333 Jeffery
 
Very special Paul - thanks for the pics.

What's the barrel length?
 
Very nice rifle!
I had a 333 Jeffery once, built on a standard length action rathe than a magnum as yours is.
For some reason, back then, I didn’t have the appreciation for such a versatile medium bore as I do now and I sold it.
You have quite an impressive collection! It’s good to see a younger enthusiast with such a developed appreciation for the classics.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
