Check Out My New 404!

I love it! What a find! I had Noah stock a rifle for me, ironically a LH CZ 550 in 404 Jeffery, at Wayne Jacobsen's recommendation. I'm very happy with it.

Wayne also recommended Noah to me as well as Dan Coffin & Dennis Olson. That’s a beautiful stock he did for you as well.
 
Jim is a good guy and knows what he's doing when it comes to 404s.

Yeah when I talked with him he definitely knew his stuff and I took it to Dennis Olson’s shop to run some dummy rounds through it before I had it stocked and it functioned flawlessly.
 
That's one heck of a beautiful rifle! There's just something about those Silvers red buttpads that complete the look. Enjoy it good health!
 
That is one good looking 404J. Well done on getting it. Any idea what bullets you want to use?

Thanks. Right now I just have 6 boxes of Hornady factory ammo. I did get dies and some bullets but couldn’t find any brass so just going to use those Hornady rounds for now.
 
Wow! Excellent receiver for the caliber and the Douglas barrel is world class!
 
Stunning rifle! Great find.

Hummm. Use the Hornady for practice or shooting small animals only. Their early DGX was pathetic, in a 416 Rigby would blow up inside a pig. It is said they improved them and their solids. Still would not trust them. Hornady brass is good.

Google Bertram Brass and see if there is a US Importer. They make 404 and many other cases. I believe some company in the US do as well.

Yeah I am not a huge fan of Hornady either but that’s all I could get at the time and now that I am in Alaska it’s even harder to find 404 ammo. I definitely will get some Bertram brass when I can find it. Thanks

The Hornady DGX should now be OK on bears, at least front or side on. I found the Hornady 416 Rigby kicked the stuffing out of my shoulder and was 100fps slower than my much milder home loads with same weight bullet.

You have a good selection of bullets in the US, however if you want Woodleigh's contact Ravens Rock in the US they are now the US Agent and from what I read are very good to deal with.

The Bertram factory is 90 min from my house.
I'm always happy to help get some 404 Bertram brass to you if you have trouble finding an importer. (y)

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
