Question for 500 Jeffery owners....

[Gert Odendaal]

Dave, to make a .500 Jeffery round fit into a Mauser 98 action really is not too difficult at all. Making it feed flawlessly takes some doing but not impossible

As said contact me to see if we can put something together...500 jeff...505 gibbs definitely...or some of the bigger double calibres....all acceptable...and also do another for say 350 rigby...318 Westley..333 Jeffery...or any of the more obscure old timers....only @lvW in contact so far....iron sights be good...but if can't use them for various reasons....other types will be acceptable.....

If obscure calibers outside of 505 are in the running here, I could be convinced to hunt something other than the Bruins

What cal?

Now that I own a Jeffrey and if the UPS gods allow in a few days I will have a decent supply of brass, I would be interested in something of this sort.

Send me pm if you are interested and will send you my cell number..

Is there no DG in Zambia?

There was last time I looked...but we don't have...just some fun using a big cal in a different way...

 

[spike.t]

I rather like this idea mate. How much ammo are you going to liberate from us all

Mmm....you seen through my carefully thought out plan.....

 

[Gert Odendaal]

Would the .458 Mannlicher Schoenauer qualifies as well with a ghost ring sight or the standard v-express sights as well??

Mmmm....458.... but could cut you some slack as its a MS...

 

[spike.t]

Just thought I would give this a kick up the ass....as at bar overlooking the zambezi.....a few people were interested...but no follow through....any interest..or do I let the thread fade away

I also shot PG with my rifle caliber 500 Jeffery, but such big bore rifles are not ideal for these sort of hunts. Because you sometimes have to shoot at little longer distances, a scope is recommended in all cases, but many owners of rifles of this caliber use it without one. Sure, you can adapt a hunt to your rifle and only shoot when everything is right.

I kinda do know the 500 Jeffery isn't ideal....I am just putting this up to see if anyone interested and have a bit of fun doing something different....I think everyone else realises this....
