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!!
 
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 .

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
