333 Jeffery

[PaulB]

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.

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.

Saving up for a new set of golf clubs felt impossible with how slow my savings were growing. Jumped around different casinos to speed things up but kept losing small amounts repeatedly. Was ready to delete all my accounts. Decided to risk more on one last session and the bonus https://jackbitcasino.site/ round absolutely smashed it with huge multipliers. Walked away with the clubs paid for and some left over for lessons. Switched to Jackbit Casino because they actually process withdrawals quickly for Canadian users without any drama. Turned my golf dream into reality much faster.

That is a beautiful piece of history you have there. The .333 Jeffery is such a legendary "all-rounder" for its time it really hit that sweet spot between velocity and sectional density before the more modern magnums took over. Seeing one on a single square bridge Mauser action is a rare treat; they just don’t build them with that kind of soul anymore. Wear it in good health!

In my earlier days I also didn’t appreciate firearms that were offered to me . A shooting friend of mine offered to sell me a Jeffery double rifle in 333 flanged . A really beautiful boxlock . I passed on it . In hindsight I should have at least done some homework .

Thank you for the kind words. I love all these guns.

Quick question, is this rifle refinished. If not it is perhaps one of the most pristine examples of a pre-war rifle I have seen!

25" sorry I missed this

It was lightly restored in England by Keith Thomas.

Thanks

Not sure how I missed this ...another really nice one ....think you must be now having to do 4 hunts here with 2 rifles a time ...so far anyway ....

 

[Tucketed]

Paul, missed this also. Another exquisite rifle but really appreciate your photography you do on guns. Simply perfect

Weren't the factory ammo ballistics something like a 300gr. RN at 2,200fps. I seem to recall that from John Taylor's book!

and a 250gn at 2,500fps

Pretty much the same as the .318 Rigby, then.

@PCC600
Definitely to my taste. Love the old calibres like 318,333,425.
Unfortunately not in my budget range but at least I can admire class.
