Newly Acquired Jeffery .333 Nitro Express

Great rifle! Something about those old guns!
Does the front sling eye barrel band cover the ‘W’ in W.J.Jeffery on top of barrel?
 
Nice find—enjoy!
Unfortunately, many of these rifles cannot be imported to the USA due to the stripper clip cutout, which defines them as Milsurp sporterised rifles, which are banned!
Not necessarily true.

Many thousands of commercial Mausers have the thumb cut and stripper clip slot and if they are in their original configuration and have commercial proofs, they can indeed be imported.
Not all Mausers with the these features are military actions.

Must remind ATF
 
Was the 8mm-06 ever a thing in African hunting? Used to have a 8mm-06AI that was exceedingly accurate with Hornady `198 grain bullets.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
