500 Jeffery Club

Here’s one for someone to join the club.

I was a bit confused on the listed barrel length .. however, luv it.

Anyone know the process of importing from Australia?

It's already sold mate, I know cause I missed out on buying it by just a couple of days. Good news is I just ordered a 500 Jeffery barrel and bolt head for my Blaser Kilombero, should be in my hands next week (y)
I asked that guy the LOP, he wasn't sure but .. did have a buyer from Australia.
I was pleased to hear possible someone here got it, regardless, congrats on the 500 set up .. it's a breed apart.
 
Brand new shiny 500 Jeffery barrel arrived today along with a 500J bolt head, mag insert and a Blaser RD20 red dot. The Kilombero stock is with my gunsmith having a new recoil pad fitted, hoping to have it back tomorrow and all assembled ready for a range session on the weekend.

It's been 2yrs since I've shot it, laid up, out of shape, weak, weary. Recent practice, control, measure & focus with the 500 brought back some motivation & a positive outlook.
 
Very nice. As my 80 year old neighbor who was in the infantry in Vietnam likes to say "As long as most days above the dirt beat days in the dirt, you're doin Ok"
 
Looks to me like he’s standing too upright and getting rocked back more than necessary. His head is whipping back badly.

This is a novice question, but necessary. Do these RMR window sights mount on the "bridge" at the breech face end?
Thank you.

I personally prefer to lean forward a little more but his form and technique looks fine to me. Given he is shooting a sako 85 which are extremely light for the 500 Jeffery cartridge he is actually doing very well, as well as reloading quickly while staying on the shoulder (y)
 
I think he did just fine. I shoot my 500 Jeffery the same way I do my 270 Win. Feels right and works.
I agree, I haven't practiced speed. "just the cost in practice" i will cradle it to make a direct hit?
but idk much

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France

Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
