Building a .404 Jeff

[Ontario Hunter]

Hijacking,

Would a model 70 crf in 7mm STW be an ok starting place for 404 Jeff? Or should it just be turned into a 375 hh

Thanks

The box and ramp are already set up for 375. It would be a bit long for 404.

I have a pre-64 action that should work if interested please PM me, cheers

I had my .404 built on a CZ550 .375 H&H. Lothar Walther barrel. No real issues. It did need a custom mag box fabricated. Feeds well. Accurate and very pleasant to shoot.

CZ 550 - was born a 375 Holland - now a 404 Jeffery, thanks to a Lothar Walther transplant.

Buff horn tip and Pachmayr pad added by Ross Waghorn.

It’s very accurate, feeds perfectly and seems to work well on pigs.

Go for it ! .404 Jeffery is a great caliber.

One of my white hunters had a beautiful .404 Jeffery built on a BRNO ZKK602 action. The donor rifle was originally a .375 Holland & Holland Magnum. And it now cycles & feeds round nosed bullets as smooth as silk (although it does struggle to reliably feed flat nosed bullets).
