That is real class and although generally not a fan of dropped magazines this one I really like, it complements the actions and has nice lines.

Just some observations on a couple of things which do surprise me a little:

Every screw and cross bolt head is timed but not the rear sight screw which is a shame but easily fixed?

Pity the name could not have been the traditional .500 Jeffery Rimless? Could have had Nitro Express included but not Magnum. I don't think the .500 Jeffery was ever known as a Magnum whereas the 505 Gibbs did carry this designation.

The front flip up 'night' sight is really nice but is very vulnerable? I would not like to put the rifle up in a charge situation to see that night sight having been flipped half up by a bit of brush. Needs protection.

Hate to spoil the party but these things immediately came to mind when looking at the photos.
