I am selling my 404 Jeffery built on Winchester pre 64 Model 70 action. It is stocked in a D'arcy Echols Lengend synthetic stock that has been "Hydro dipped". The rifle was built for me by Tip Burns, an outstanding gunsmith in Texas. It has a 23" barrel, a barrel band front sight and a single leaf rear sight. It has a barrel band sling swivel base and 3 position safety. All metal is matte finish. The LOP is 13 3/4" and weighs approximately 8.5 pounds.

Asking $3,750 shipped to lower 48. Only to California if allowed.

Thanks Clayton. It really is a fine rifle and accurate, shooting 380 gr North Forks.

I replaced the original Winchester factory stock because the grip was so closed that the trigger guard bruised my finger when I shot it.

The D'Arcy Echols Legend cured that problem and also lessened the felt recoil somewhat.

Them old Model 70s will do that. Especially shooting off the bench. I had a .375 H&H once that tried to cripple me.

That is one beautiful rifle.
 
It's a good looking rifle! And you say that is a synthetic stock?

I was thinking the same thing! Great looking rifle! Should sell easily
 
That gun is sweet! Never would have guessed it was synthetic!
 
It appears to have extra holes in the side of the receiver. Is that just from the digital effect?
 
Sestoppelman,

The action I used for the 404 build was "ported" when I bought it.
 
You don't "port" an action. You mean it was drilled and tapped for a side scope mount I assume. Its hard to see and I would bet most didn't notice it, you should have mentioned it.
 
I'm reducing the price of the rifle to $3,250

It's a great buy at that.

the rifle looks great and is a fantastic Caliber as well
 
At $2,750 I will include a Nikon Monarch 3 1x4x20 scope in Warne QD rings that were on the rifle in addition to the reloaded rounds of 380 gr North Forks and all the spent cases that i have.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
