W.J.JEFFERY & CO. Hand Crafted Big Game Rifles

.500 MAGAZINE RIFLE


500.jpg

This new edition of our classic dangerous game rifle is a faithful reproduction of the early .500 rifles built at the introduction of the cartridge. The new rifle is built to the original specifications of the first .500 rifles (of which only 24 were built) adopting a heavy profile barrel and standard two leaf express sights on a short rib which is hand-stippled to reduce glare. The protected foresight is set back from the muzzle. The relatively...

338 Win Questions

I have recently come into possession of a 338 Win rifle. It’s a left handed model 70. It’s a stainless version that has had some work done to it before I got it. It was in a smallish aftermarket stock, which I have already changed out. Then barrel has been shortened to 19 inches. I haven’t shot it yet and not sure what I want to do with it. Keep it as is, use it as a donor for a build or try to move it along. As far as building a new rifle, I’ve pretty much have all caliber windows covered...

Community Designed AH Hunting Knife

Hwzt all.

Have been kicking around the idea of a hunting knife that I will make especially for those of us here on AH, an AH Knife if you will.

I want it to be $400 at most and it will include free worldwide shipping (buyers to sort out their import duties only, if applicable).

At that price point I can either do a good quality stainless steel or high carbon, but unfortunately Damascus will be out of reach.

The handle would ideally be a good hardwood from here in Zimbabwe, and can either...

416 REM

Hey everyone I had been thinking I was going to take my 375 with me next year to Africa however I have been considering getting a 416 in a earlier thread I did asking about the 416 Taylor id mentioned a labrum issue with my shoulder. I’m looking to be able to shoot what I want while managing long term issues that may arise.

As many have said the 375 has killed everything in the continent but I’m curious if a 416 rem can be loaded to handle DG with the 350gr bullets.

I shoot a 458 win...

22 or 6.5 Creedmore for Moose and Elk?

Shout out to our Creemore fans. QUESTION: Is a 6.5CM or a 22CM the ideal Elk hunting rifle? Do you use one to hunt big game? If so, which game animals. How has it performed for you?

Before you excoriate me for being a Creedmore fanboy, let me explain. I have never used a 22 or 6mm rifle to kill any game animals larger than a coyote. Also, my idea of a good Elk or Moose round is a 7mm RM, 300wm or 338wm loaded with a heavy bonded or copper mono bullet. I do add that bullet placement...
