For Sale Blaser R8 .404 Jeffery Barrel, Insert & Bolt Head

[nomspc]

I have for sale a custom .404 Jeffery barrel for the Blaser R8. I got it in the white from Elmer Laitala just before he retired, and sent it to Jim Brockman for sights, recessed muzzle crown and finishing. It is 24”, 14 twist, 17mm at the muzzle. Sights are zeroed at 50 yards. The contour is slightly heavier than Blaser standard. In my Professional stock, the barrel is in contact with the fore stock, not free float. This does not affect accuracy as you can see from the test targets. There is a small ding at the muzzle, not near the crown; can be seen in one of the pics. Included is the correct Blaser magazine insert and Blaser “UM” bolt head. $1300. PayPal discreet preferred. I also have 10 or so boxes of .404 ammo I’ll be posting here in a few days, but want to give dibs to the buyer of the barrel; buyer will get a discount on ammo.

FIRST TWO TARGETS AT 50 YDS:

LAST TARGET IS NORMA 450 GRAIN RNSN AT 100 YDS:

Of course this shows up when I have a lot of house repairs to do! (Who doesn’t!)
Best of luck with your sale!

Impressive groups and this will fit in a standard stock?

Safe to use with aluminum action (Luxes) and is a steal receiver needed?

My understanding has been that the aluminum actions are sufficiently strong enough to handle any caliber they make. The concern is only the lighter weight for lack of recoil mitigation.

As Tra3 says, aluminum is fine. What steel gives you is extra weight. I used a Kickstop with this barrel. Good balance and reduced recoil.

Just looked at the targets - which manufacturer is the 400 gr TSX? Couldn't tell from the boxes.

Superior Ammunition, a custom loader in South Carolina.

At least it's a decent calibre to give that R8 thing a tiny bit of class....

Now, you have a barrel for those occasions when a bit of an extra "oomph" is desired.

Maybe I can now finally rid myself of those Mauser things that did it less well ......

If the 375 is a rapier does that make the 404 a saber? Whatever it is it looks like a good buy

SOLD!

How are you going to live with the misspelled "Jeffrey". Kind of like misspelling your mom's name on a tattoo. Lol! Just messing with you. Nice barrel!

OMG - Had not noticed that ......... !! I suppose a line through would be inappropriate. Hopefully the barrel maker was better at his trade than his spelling.
