With scope unloaded it weighs 12 lbs. My handload is either a Swift 570g A-Frame or 570g TSX at 2300 fps recoil is 88.12 ft lbs recoil velocity is 21.74 fps. Recoil is sporty but it's still fun to shoot. I have loaded the TSX up to 2510 fps but at that speed the fun index went to zero...

My 500 Jeffery

270 Win beats them all

Is this a Ryan Breeding custom rifle? Is it built on a GMA Magnum Mauser Action? If so I'd have Ryan put a 24" 505 Gibbs barrel on it. Then you'd have something!

Pass Barrel too short, recoil would be hell (and I shoot a 500 Jeffery) and too gaudy for my taste

My .375 caliber 300g A-Frame that penetrated a 9' brown bear diagonally starting at the right shoulder still weighs 299.5 grains. Your friend got a 10 1/2 foot bear I'm jealous what a monster!

I don't know what type of single stage trigger Wayne put in my CZ550 but it's perfect. Breaks at a crisp 2 1/2 lbs Not for the uninitiated with my 500 Jeffery

Yes I hear he's very good.

True I paid $500 for my CZ#1 Upgrade, it was a steal

Good luck! I'm sure it will come out great. CZ 550s are great rifles. Here's my CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery. Wayne at AHR did the upgrades (3 pos M70 type safety, straighten and fill bolt, and single stage match trigger). It came with the barrel band an NECG front sight. Kevin Weaver worked on...

Mine hasn't, knock on wood, close to 500 full power rounds through my 500 Jeffery

44 Magnum is more effective for sure, but my Springfield V16 in 45 Super is easy to carry, shoot and a Buffalo Bore 255g hardcast at 1100 fps (from my 6" barrel) is nothing to sneeze at. I bought it from the Springfield Custom Shop a long time ago. I recently sent it back to have the front and...

And I thought I was a troll lol!

Nice bear! I don't have one but I always thought it would be a real nice cartridge in a BLR

I have two bolt action rifles I have total confidence in Never malfunctioned, always fire, quiet safeties, always accurate.
