Hi All

Been lurking here for a while. Biggest thing I have ever hunted is rabbit . I live in South Africa and have just bought a .500 Jeff. My intention is to become a field guide on retirement .

Welcome aboard mate. If the biggest thing you have hunted is rabbit then that 500Jeff is going to light your eyes up when you touch it off.

Giday Beethoven and welcome to the A H forums. That is quite a jump from rabbit rifle the the 500 Jeff.

Yeah, he'll need to use solids in the Jeff for the rabbits. Barnes banded, CEBs or Woodleighs probably would be in order?

Welcome aboard Beethoven. From hunting nothing but rabbit to a 500 Jeffery is quite a jump. I'd like to hear the story / background behind your purchasing it. As Brickburn stated, you should probably get a smaller caliber rifle to gain shooting proficiency, I'd suggest something like a 9.3 x 62 in addition to the 22 LR that you mentioned. When are you planning to retire?
