I have decided to sell my .500 Jeffery. It is Empire Rifles African Standard Express Rifle. This gun is one of the first 10 built, and it feeds and shoots flawlessly. First it has a beautiful AA straight grain piece of walnut with lots of life (which is perfect for big bores) that carries elegant English sporting rifle lines. It has a shadowline pancake cheek rest, Red English style recoil pad, straight comb, drop belly floor plate, Blackburn style floor plate, inletted rear sling swivel, steel grip cap, 26 LPI checkering, and a genuine ebony wood forend cap. Now the metal work, it has a 98S Mauser Double Square bridge action with integral scope bases on the bridge, 3 position safety, 22" match grade safari contour barrel, masterpiece front hooded sight, and masterpiece double leaf express sights regulated 50 and 100yrds with gold lines, barrel band sling swivel and a set of 30mm Sunny Hill quick detachable rings.

This rifle is in 95% or better condition with very minor handling marks and hasn't been fired very much at all and the appearance shows. If you have any questions please PM me and I will gladly get you more pics.

Just a nice elegant working safari rifle with great English lines!!


Asking $5000.00 shipped to your FFL!!

Well I will throw this out there, since I had a couple scotches tonight... $4800.00 and it's yours! Shipped!

That's a steal for this gun..

You never know, we may not be able to sell guns online in another month!!
 
I've shot alot of guns and own several big bores.. nothing kicks me as hard as my 870 with a 21" slug barrel and a 600gr. Lightfield slug at 1750 fps.

This gun is not bad at all, weighs 10.2 lbs as most safari rifles do.

I killed a hippo with my .500NE double and never felt anything.

The .458 lott has a more than unusual recoil for some reason, snappy. I have heard alot of people complain about the Lott
