This is a photo of the latest addition to my collection, a 500 Jeffery built around an M17. I had it made to shoot the SSAA Group 3 events in the Big Game Rifle Club. It was built with a budget in mind, it doesn't have all the pretty bits that other custom or English makers have, but it shoots well, and didn't cost me the earth. It has a 26" Sprinter barrel, and a Boyd's laminated stock with a limbsaver fitted. Sights are a Redfield receiver sight and a M70 front sight. We didn't have too many dramas getting it to feed, made a complete new follower for it, fits 2 down and 1 up. Weighs 10lb 14 ozs. I've shot a group at 50 metres off the bench while running the barrel in that measured .885" for 5 shots. Can't complain about that. As I mentioned before, it didn't cost an arm and a leg, but it got me shooting a 500 J, and that can't be a bad thing.
