my 404 Jeffery - finally

Sorry Bud, been in the bush. You cannot go wrong with anything between 2200 and 2300 fps. I've always been happy with up towards the 2300 fps mark.
 
thanks

Thanks DOC , I will see what's the best grouping I get with speeds between 2200 and 2300
 
update : my smith is still busy with the rifle,in fact he only started this week as he has been very busy with the hunting season here in SA.

I shall post the pic's when the rifle is comple.
 
update : I should get my 404 Jeff back by the end of the month , the stock is looking great ..... not long now for the pictures

I have woodleigh 400g (RN SN) bullets but I see one box says .422 and the other is a .423 ...... any comments ?

FINALLY ....... picked her up from the Gunsmith today

barrel shortened
action polished
new front fibre optic sight
widened the open sights
re-worked the stock

will give her a shoot on the weekend.
 
I'm still nothing thinking you actually have a .404.

I call BS.

So. Where's the pix? :whistle:

there's only one BS here and that's you , or as we call them here ..... tjop
 
Shoot straight. It sure looks good.
 
Sweet! Except for the "carbine":p barrel! I like anything over 2150 fps. My most accurate load is 72 grs of IMR4064 with 400gr Barnes Triple Shock for about 2200 fps.
 
I assure you of one thing , I am a straight shooter ...... that's for sure.

(y)
 
barrel was only trimmed by 1"
 
That's just about right. Velocity loss will be about nil. Nice looking.
 
i believe that is one of the finest looking CZ's ive seen in a long time, the wood on that rifle is outstanding! :notworthy:

im very jealous of you friend! hit me up if you ever want to sell it. :D

Very good looking , indeed! Take good care of the stock, here is worthwhile !!
 
certainly scrubbed up looking swish, bassy......
