Did Jeffery put Model 70 style safeties on their 1930s rifles? I thought I read where Jeffery and others were forced in the 20s and 30s to fall back onto building their big bores on standard actions?
Delighted to see the 404 making a comeback. It is perhaps the most accessible of the "obsolete" African cartridges.
Their website lists the .404 @ 48K sterling and .500 @ 52K sterlingI'm not sure I even want to ask what the price tag is, I'm guessing a lot?
What exchange rate are you using? This morning's rate is £1/$1.29 US. Thus the 500J model goes for only $67K and 400J can be had for just $62K. That's roughly six buffalo.48k pounds sterling ? That’s over 13 million dollars I know inflation has run amok in Europe but.
The rifle in the in the photo has a Mod. 70 style safety because the client requested this style of safety. We can and do supply the traditional flag type safety for rifles without a scope. The rifles built on standard actions in the 20's and 30's were just a cheaper offer at the time for clients such as Game Depts I believe.Did Jeffery put Model 70 style safeties on their 1930s rifles?

No problem if you`re rich. For many of us (myself included) that money is better spent on an ele hunt.View attachment 621357

W.J. Jeffery & Co. are pleased to reintroduce a limited production of their classic bolt action .500 Jeffery and .404 Jeffery rifles. Modelled after Jeffery’s original Magnum Mauser rifles of the 1930’s, these classic Big Game rifles are once again made in Birmingham and remain the pre-eminent choice for the pursuit of dangerous game.
I love how you converted $ to buffalo.What exchange rate are you using? This morning's rate is £1/$1.29 US. Thus the 500J model goes for only $67K and 400J can be had for just $62K. That's roughly six buffalo.
Somehow I don't think these bespoke investments would turn around very quickly. But maybe in my grandson's time.
