Neckdeep - Thanks! I'll check that one out! Weaver bases are definitely not a problem to find. I also didn't know Leica made a red dot. I'll have to check that out as well. HWL - That's exactly the type of setup I'm thinking about for my rifle. It looks like it works well on your double. Rare...

I appreciate all the help! With some time on google I haven't found anybody advertising a rmr mount for talley bases. Maybe somebody on the forum knows of one. AHR or Alaskan Arms may be able to manufacture a custom one. Warne makes rmr mounts, but I can't tell from their site if they mount to...

The initial plan was Talley but it looks like they aren't going to get done, so I'm really open to anything as long as the QD will reliably return to zero and they'll hold up to the 404.

Thanks Woodcarver. I'll reach out to AHR. Unfortunately, the Model 70 doesn't have the grooves in the receiver like the CZ550, so I'm not sure if his style of mount will work.

So, I'm having a 404 Jeffery built on a Model 70 and I'm working on deciding on optics. I would like to have a scope in QD mounts as well as something like an rmr on a QD that could mount on the same base as the scope. I've always heard Talley for QD scope mounts, but they don't seem to have a...

Thanks guys! I'll definitely email the bullet manufactures for data. I haven't 100% settled on what I'm going to use but I've been thinking Cutting Edge for solids and either them or Barnes for expanding. I appreciate that load data. I'll definitely give it a shot once I get my rifle back...

I know I'm reviving an older post, but I'm curious where you get your load data for the Jeffery? I'm having one built now and am going to need some data.

Well, I'm having a 404J built now. I have my eye on the Uberti Courteney Stalking Rifle. I've also been wanting a SxS 16ga hammer gun. My probably never going to happen gun would have to be a British double in 500 Nitro.

I'm in the process of building a 404 Jeffery and am needing to find some ammo. If anybody has any for sale I'd be interested in hearing about. Also would be interested in reloading supplies for it as well.

Thanks! I'll have to give him a call and talk about the conversion.

That's good to hear. Thanks!

Thanks! I just heard back from Justin at Pre-64 Win and the current barrel can't be bored but the action can be converted. They have about a 2 year backlog so I'll definitely give Randy a call. Thanks!

I'll make sure it gets the extra support it needs. I'd hate to crack the original stock. I had one of those on my AR for a while and it would have made a great hunting scope. I'll probably look at getting one for this rifle. It currently has a B&L Balfor mounted. If I can't get the original...

That's too bad! I'll definitely keep that in mind.

I hadn't thought of seeing if they do caliber conversions. I'll shoot them a message. Thanks!
