500 Jeffery Club

Should probably start a 500 Jeffery Shooting thread, would be interesting to see all the different 500 Jeffery rifles out there and how they shoot

Shooting steel with my first R8 in 500 Jeffery a few years ago

I'll gladly embarrass myself with 500 footage I was able to capture .. I think it's been exploited enough here, however.
 
New 500 Jeffery barrel, bolt head & mag insert. Mounted a Blaser RD20 red dot on top and had a new 1" decelerator pad fitted. Comes in at exactly 10.9lbs unloaded, I was hoping for around 11.5 pounds but with the new recoil pad and it also having a kickstop fitted it shouldn't be too uncomfortable to shoot. Will get it out on the range this weekend.

Beautiful set up. Looking forward to your report, from the 500's report!

25 rounds is a lot with a 500 Jeffery!
a basic 101 question, but: If your rifle is regulated with Norma 570grn: How do you compensate for a 540grn? .. Is this where optics, RMR's, etc are simply adjusted?

many thanks.

Practise makes perfect
It doesn't take long to become unacclimated with it.
I hope you enjoyed it though. It's quite the experience, (458 Lott was the furthest I could manage prior)
 
My 500 is coming along nicely. The gunsmith however likes to keep me in suspense as he still wants it to be a surprise when I see it :D

By the sounds of things we are not that far from completion. Will be heading off to engraving soon.

Did a lot of homework before I decided on a gunsmith, and I must say I have been very pleased! He is also a nice person to work with, you don't frequently get that with gunsmiths....

Dang S. Africans must be testy. :-). I consider all of the gunsmiths I have used, with perhaps one exception, to be great guys and friends.
