Johannsen Safari Büchse - .500 Jeffery ! - eGun

A rifle from Reimer Johanssen no less… I must resist!!!

This smithson 500j is one of the original rifles pictured in the gma website. I’d love to own that rifle but, 17k is still too rich for me on a rifle with 1 pipe. No doubt it’s a gem, same guy also has for sale a 404 that is a dandy. I think Those rifles may have belonged to that film production guy mark buchanan,….

That's what's stated, or was in the description. Also featured on J. P.'s site & in the film "Bolted to Death"

idk.

I haven't been out much in the past couple years, weak, shaky .. found a firework

Norma's 540's .. noticeably stouter & .. louder?
600's @ 2100fps otherwise.

Which ones the Norma 540 solids?....find them similar to the sako 535grn a frames...not bad....only others as I think have said get here are the 570grn norma ph ones...which in mine are not as nice as the sako or norma 540 solids....the kynoch i have are relegated to admiring on the shelf as evil to fire in mine...make the 570 ones seem OK....

@spike.t .. It had to be the 7th shot, 49 secs "grinning at the sheer sound"
If I recall, I soaked them up off midway years ago as they were 1/2 the price of 570's

I almost brought a Kynoch but, just as well .. they decorate the shelf ;
Groups were bad, lucked out on a couple but it took the shakes away for the day.

Lord, is that thing loud.

I really want this ..
