.404 is here

[Lhleggtowner]

After many months being gone she has made it back. My Winchester 7mm STW has been converted into a magnificent .404 Jeffery. I handed my rifle off to Dennis Olsen last June and I got it back last week and it is a work of art to say the least.

He rebarreled and chambered added sights and a barrel band then blued.
Bedded the action. He then added a cross bolt. He removed the front sling mount and filled it with a blued screw. Put some Talley qd mounts with the larger screws. Worked on the action for perfect feeding and locking up like a tank. He put on a new recoil pad. Then to finish it off , done a little work on the trigger.

I probably forgot something , but you get the picture.

cant wait to get out and shoot this ol gal.

Very nice. How many rounds down? I'd love to see the rails and magazine box. Did he use the windowed one?

Honest to goodness I don’t know. I was so excited to get it. I will let you know. I’ll take some inside shots and post.

Love seeing this magnificent cartridge geetting the recognition it deserves and "new" rifles being built to take advantage of all its superb qualities.

Congratulations and welcome to the club. Very nice indeed! Dennis Olson does great work, as he did my 404 Jeff conversion too. The only drawback I can see is apparently Dennis put the bolt handle on the wrong side. What type of barrel did you go with and what twist rate?

Nice rifle. Congrats.

[Hunter-Habib]

That’s a real beauty .

Haha you are the reason I got him to do it. I sent my rifle after we talked last year on a thread. To be perfectly honest , I don’t know. I am super specific
on all of my custom builds but, I told him what I was going to shoot and he told me he had the barrel. I guess I should of asked more questions. You would have thought I would have any ways. Thanks for your advice on him. I look forward to shooting it.
