Jeffery Rook Rifle 297/300 Resleeved to 22LR
#389681 - 15/02/25 01:34 PM

I bought this tranter lever opening Jeffery Rook Rifle 297/300 with a 27" barrel that had been resleeved with a parker hale barrel to 22LR. The firing pin had been moved up to make sure it hit the rim of the 22LR. After being off 5 inches high and to the left. After leaving it with mialls for 4 weeks with Eley EPS 22LR target ammo they had it shooting 35mm high at 35m for about a 50m zero with the 50m flip sight. I suspect it was never altered from the 550fps the old rook round was doing.
Its a great little rifle that doesn't bust your shoulder.

Rooks are fun little rifles. I have 2 in 295/300 rook and one that has been sleeved to 22 LR. The 295/300s push an 80 gr bullet at 1200 fps and is an effective small game load. It is also fun to reload. I have loaded these CF rifles down to 900 fps and up to 1450 fps with 1200 fps being thhe origianl load. The 22 is also very accurate though I have not shot that rifle as much as the centerfire rifles.

Nice. Very useful and so easy to shoot in .22 RF.

Fun for plinking.

Safari camp meat rifle.

Edited to Add. Hearing the little ,22 RF fire is so anti climatic.

Good to see the special snap and group 3 shooting as well.
