500 Jeffrey Help!

[Daniel Cary]

This AHR was found online in the interest of a long running search for a 500 Jeffrey. I have yet to have completed an online transaction as it can be precarious at 1st & don't really know what to expect … however, in short, this looks a little erroneous imo,?!? If anyone can correct me in the condition of the bore, I greatly appreciate it. Thank You! Dan.

Perhaps just not clean?

Clean it then shoot it. If it shoots good quit worrying. I doubt that rifle is shot out.

When shopping online there is always a risk that the seller is a scammer with nothing to sell and that the photos of the item for sale were just stolen from someone else on the internet so one tip to avoid getting scammed with that method is to ask for specific photos. Ask the seller to send you a couple of unusual very specific photos of the item for sale, for instance if selling a rifle ask the seller to send you a picture of the rifle with their thumb covering the end of the barrel and another with their hand holding the scope. You can certainly suspect that something is not right if they won’t do this.

Daniel, if you wind up with this rifle, please keep us advised as to how well it performs at the range. I have two 404 Jeffery caliber rifles that shoot slightly under 1 MOA. I hope "yours" will do that as well.

Daniel, I "found" this rifle's listing. Two observations, Berkley is an up-scale community where a rifle of this type might be found. Second I didn't see any mention of it being built or worked on at AHR. This might have come from CZ's Custom Shop i.e. Triple River. If this deal goes through and you want some more info on the rifle you can contact Harlan or his daughter Megan @ Triple river Gunsmithing at (660) 438 - 2004. BTW this might be a rifle that was built some time ago. I purchased one of my 404(s) in 2016 (unfired) that was built in 2006.

The bore just looks a little dirty with some copper fouling. You might also ask for the SER# and call AHR and see if they ever worked on a CZ 500 Jeff with a ser# of??
