W.J. Jeffery & Co. Limited Production Classic Bolt Action .500 Jeffery &.404 Jeffery Rifles

[Ontario Hunter]

Several months ago I sold a genuine .404J. It went to a fine dealer in RSA the price was very reasonable. After the rifle was sold, but before the export permit was issued. Then this happened.

All firearm permits were frozen until new permit prices could be determined. Result the new export permit will result in me getting a few hundred dollars for a pristine Mauser (98) Jefferies .404, that was the handiest rifle I have ever hunted DG.

I am surprised no member has heard about our firearm license fiasco. Its going to be very expensive for a outfitter to own xtra firearms , such as loaners/rentals. Ah, then there anti-poaching .303 enfields. I heard that one conservancy’s license cost will be $28,000.00

That sorry excuse for a govt is skating on thin ice and knows it. They're trying to keep the opposition from arming (i.e. protecting!) themselves.

Apologies for the confusion re price of the rifles. We used to use the term "British pound sterling" for British pound.

Ontario Hunter corrected my error.
I see at current spot price, 1 Kg of 999's gold could work

Always been simply sterling to me .

Wouldn't be any confusion if Brits had stayed with the Euro. I cannot understand why they decided to stop paying for Greek campaign promises.

I'm not sure I even want to ask what the price tag is, I'm guessing a lot?

If you have to ask you can't afford it

Lovely... where do I fax a check??? On my Nigerian bank of course....

48k pounds sterling ? That’s over 13 million dollars I know inflation has run amok in Europe but.

Is it Zim dollars? It is about 56 000 US dollars.

I admire a well crafted rifle. Just wanted to compliment you and your gunsmiths on a fine product. It is outside my price range. However it is just refreshing to see a classic rifle in a world of plastic tupperware things.

 

[W.J.JEFFERY & CO.]

Thanks for your kind comments.

I know the feeling. We were so poor that my mum couldn`t afford to give birth to me,so the lady down the street had to do it. My mum couldn`t even afford cab fare or the services of a midwife,so I had to drive to the neighbour lady`s house and assist in my own birth.

Stayed with the Euro? They were never in the Euro . . .

Yes, you are correct. Britain and Denmark both initially joined the European Union but were allowed to opt out of adopting the euro as currency, although the expectation was that they would eventually do so.

Say What??.....You were able to drive a car!?.... Just down the street!?....You lived in town!?.... Man you weren't poor y'all were rich and had it easy.

I had to call the mid wife two counties over to let her know I was on my way. I started out crawling the first 5 miles, ended up walking the next 10 miles of the 15 mile journey in the Ohio summer heat and high humidity to get to the nearest birthing age (only) female neighbor, within 30 miles, and wait another 8 hours, till the wee hours of next morning, for her to finish her day's choirs: plowing and planting a ten acre field with a stubborn mule, milk the three cows, pick up the eggs of the dozen free ranging chickens, slop the 2 hogs and 6 piglets, haul in two buckets of water from the outside well, chop and stock wood for the small multi use rock and clay fireplace, fix supper for her family of 12, eat, clean up after supper, mend 10 mixed matched socks, sew on six shirt buttons and mend the 3 holes in her husbands only shirt, before she could go to bed in the little 2 room log cabin.

It took six months for my folks to settle up with the midwife: half dozen eggs and a quart jar of rendered bacon grease.

Absolutely fantastic looking rifles!!!!

The best two bolt action calibers for dangerous game......

Have been using a 500 Jeff on ZKK602 action for all my dg hunting with the utmost satisfaction...

Having a 375H&H ZKK602 converted to 404 Jeff for my daughter to use as a back up rifle while doing trail guiding.

If I could afford them a pair of these would be the best anyone could immagine.

Well done!!
