Check this out.

I don't need or particularly want another 400 but this is going to be hard to pass up.

400 Jeffery in unused condition. I'm going to pick it up this week for a look see.

Some more information as I have it.

Owned by present owner since 1987. He has never fired it nor has he ever had any ammunition for it. Purchased in England. Uncased.

I have not seen it and am only going buy his discription. We'll see. I have permission to shoot it and, oddly enough, have about 100 rounds of 400 3" Kynoch.

Asking $16,000.00.

If I get it I will probably sell my 400 3 1/4 Alex Henry. We'll see.

Mick:

Is this a W. J. Jeffery & Co., or the Jefferies of Calcutta that you asked about?

Mick,
You are right! You don't need another 400 Jeffery! Send it to me. I will FedEx you a prepaid overnight label so you can send it to my FFL!

Any numbers on the under rib near the barrel loop?

No this is a W J Jeffey

The J Jefferies I was refering to is an Aussie Gun in 450 #2. It is quite a nice rifle and has killed a couple of Ele's and a number of Buff, African and Aussie.
