Hi gents

Any of you had any dealings with a .404 Jeffery?

i just had a look at a rifle built on a modified 98 std action.... really nice.

 

I always longed for a rifle in this cal, and all i need is some of you guys telling me i must do it.....:wink:

You never know when an opportunity might arise out of the blue to go and shoot a buff.......

 

All the best

GS,

The 404 Jefferys is a pretty good big game cartridge.

Almost like a 416.

For the big stuff, it will work fine (as always, with good bullets, it will work fine).
