That is one good and wild looking rifle. Has a Ryan Breeding rifle look about it. | |||

Kid You got it back! I was looking at it on line and was seriously considering buying it. I was just going on line to ask the seller what happened to the recoil pad and couldn't find it. I missed it the last time it was for sale as I waited to long. Mark | |||

OK I'll get a .500 Jeffery built on a CZ 550 Mag. It will make me appreciate the .458 WIN even more, if that is possible. I have 20 pieces of Norma brass, and I can think of no better reason to have a .500 Jeffery built. There is no "good" reason for a .500 Jeffery, especially a 6-pound one with no recoil pad.

The owner really must want to feel what a .500 is like.   | |||

Yes Mark!  Recoil isnt that bad,not for me? I never ever feel it when hunting buff n bear .. Matter of fact my Brown Bear with this rifle took off running so I was cranking rounds like Chuck Conners! I did have a few hard kickers that I dont want back like a 6pd 378 and a 11pd 600NE Double that must have had a bad stock design as it punched(1920s Charles Osborne) "That's not a knife..THIS is a KNIFE" ! | |||

Damn! A couple months ago I had 2 cases of Kynoch 500 Jeffery ammunition. I could have soaked you good for it! :-) | |||

A 6 pound 378 would move to the area where the rifle launches a personal attack on the shooter | |||

Tom, I'm glad its back home! I watched Mike's youtube video again last night and chuckled the way he hung his arm and shoulder after the shot! Been there and done that with my 9 pound 460wby with no muzzle break I built back in 1986. I evently sent it off to KDF for a brake. Mark | |||

Haha..Thanks Mark! What I really would like to find is my 8pd .600! Then I can give this one a new home! Lol Let's compare for shitz n giggles.. 570 gr @ 21-2200 =6125 ME Vs. 900 gr @ 21-2200 =9672 ME  I am even shocked at the difference! "That's not a knife..THIS is a KNIFE" ! | |||

I was watching this rifle when it was for sale and saw a few comments in regard to it's recoil... I for one cant even fathom what the recoil must be like in this rifle! I can't get my head around it... My absolute limit is a .458Win with a 480-500gn pill at 2150fps. This monster has probably double that! Like I said, I cant even imagine what that must feel like... Cheers, Russ You'll probably never NEED a gun. In fact I hope you never do. BUT IF you do, you will probably need it worse than anything you've ever needed before in your life... | |||

You'd damned sure better be standing + leaning into it. Truly though, recoil be damned, wouldn't it be nice to fire, even once? Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Grizzinator on a WIN M70 with 16" barrel weighs 6.5 pounds iron-sighted, unloaded. She weighs 7.5 pounds scoped, unloaded. I figure a 10-pound, scoped, unloaded, CZ 550 Magnum will be more enjoyable to shoot, if not as exuberantly joyful to carry. Here is the reamer that will allow a COL of 3.75" instead of 3.5", Dave Kiff called it the .500 Jeffery Match without even asking me for input. I would have preferred .500 Jeffery LongClaw:  I ordered that back in 2017 before I was totally sure of the greatness of the .458 WIN.MAG. throat. I could still re-throat it. Here is the tight-throated CIP .500 Jeffery for comparison:  Rip ... | |||

the load is simple -- 1.25" of 1/2" lead bar grind up a kingsford brickette LOL.... I don't recall my 500 jeffe loads, but I had been using a good deal of wc846/blc2 as for a short barreled 378 ... that would be a flame thrower! opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

I love it. But I’m pretty sure I’d want to put a Decelerator on it. BIGDOGGY is smiling down from above, for sure! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||
