500 Jeffery Club

[Daniel Cary]

I personally don't believe a 11.5lb's is necessary & understand "it's not for everyone". I lost over two years (laid up) w/o shooting. @Altitude sickness, etc. helped critique, which takes time & a lot of practice.

Lost a lot of strength, but ran the AHR anyway,
600grn @ 2100fps
Norma 570
Norma 540
Kynoch 535

Taking an absolute beating 'c the Sako.

Norma 540's almost 7000ft/lbs .. they are nasty.

My CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery weighs 11 lbs naked and 12 lbs with a Leupold 1.5-5x scope and Talley QR rings. I find that just about right. I work out with 15 lb dumbbells so the rifle feels light and lively to me even when elk hunting.
