I always wanted a Big Bore by Sterling Davenport - a 500 Jeffery custom

I agree. I have several Big Bore rifles that are ported. A real advantage to reduce muzzle lift for faster followup shots.
If you're going to port it, why not put a good brake on from Muzzle Brakes and More and enjoy greatly reduced recoil. I have one on my 416 RM and I love it, use that gun for everything including coyotes, love it .
 
Very nice!
FYI, that's a Wyatts "CFE" center feed mag box and follower.
The Davenport is identical to a 460 Weatherby follower and magazine box system on a Mark V Action. Looks like Wyatts did some modifications from the Weatherby.

Nice touch

I am taking My davenport 500Jeff to Namibia this year.
 
Do you have any pictures of your 500?
 
Very nice - does yours load from the bottom like mine?
 
I have loaded from the bottom, and I have also slowly loaded two rounds from the top, sliding the rounds back under the what I call the magazine retaining lips.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
