Rifle at Auction
      #393674 - 06/10/25 09:34 AM

500 Jeffrey Custom Rifle Montana Rifle Co 12.5x70 Schuler

See: https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/1130545338

Ad states "Custom 500 Jeffrey. Action is from Montana Rifle Co. model 1999, half octagon half round barrel. Gorgeous wood. Exquisite checkering. 20 rounds ammo included. I have not fired it but action functions properly. Good, clean bore. Strong riflings."

This is a nice looking big bore rifle with a starting bid of $8,900 USD.

Perhaps someone can post pictures from the auction.

LOL - can't help but wonder, from which end, North or South?

S'OK. The steel butt plate, while more aesthetically pleasing to my eye, would definitely not work for me. I'd need mercury recoil reducers and then likely someone else to shoot it for me. LOL

My torn cartilage and torn rotator cuff wouldn't like that at all. My little .375 bothers it enough that I shot it once in the last 3 years. That was enough. 1936 Model 70 in .30GVT06 with any load is just fine, thanks.

Daryl,

I certainly understand. I know of several people who stopped shooting big bores because of injuries.

LOL- never ending story for me. On the 22nd this month, I get my new knee re-attached. It's broken loose off the bone. That happened mid June in Neufyland. The medical system runs slowly, here.

Daryl,

That is horrible: your new knee became unattached in June and they are just getting around to attaching it. Ugg.

So many lefties comment that the US has poor medical treatment compared to other countries. I think that would have been reattached fairly quickly here as an emergency operation.

I have heard similar stories about long waits and "red tape" in England.

I hope this reattachment works well. Good luck.

Every step hurts some. Only 2 weeks to go. I had to wait until my wife got home from her trip to Europe.
When I stepped off the curb without knowing it was there, my weight down on a straight leg, crushed the bone under the inside corner of the tibia, under the tibia prosthesis. That wedged/ripped it off the tibia.
Been loose since, but only needing a cane-painful since about mid July.
Got home from the lake on Sunday, needing to empty the truck inside right away, due to the food and possession limit of fish for the freezer. Took a few days off till today.
I got the back of the truck unloaded today and the 3.6 meter Styker taken apart and in the basement & motor in the shed. Took me from 10AM until 3 PM to get that done. LOL Should have only taken an hour.
There will be no hunting for me, this fall, unless we make a drive in the truck for grouse on the roads.

Hopefully Daryl you'll get the op done smartly & be back on your feet quickly!
Here's hoping that you get to fire an odd angry shot before Christmas of your 375!
