Here is my .404 Jeffery's I've now fully committed to selling.

It was made by Robert (Bob) Harvey who was an amazing gun maker and smith, it was made on a Mauser 98 action, case colour hardened tastefully with some gold inlay and minor engraving. It feeds and shoots amazingly well, never been further than the range as far as I know, the grouping with irons is perfect if I do say so my self. Have have some ammo, dies and new brass for it as well. It has a Schmidt and Bender 1.25-4x20 on it with Aple swing off mounts.

The original build cost was £12k plus optics and the rebuild cost is estimated at £12-15k a lot of this goes to the case colour hardening, engraving and gold inlay, although minor in all areas it all adds up apparently!!

The gun is currently at my home in Northamptonshire, England, viewings are welcome when its legally possible, I am open to offers and would help with any shipping paperwork ect.

I'm asking £8,000 for the rifle and everything included ono.

If you want more info on the rifle or to talk please pm me.

Happy hunting!!

Here is the list of dimensions that I have already been asked to provide, I have taken these with kitchen scales and a tape measure so not 100% gun smith accurate of course:

Barrel length - 25"
LOP - 13 3/4"
Weight of bare rifle - 9lb 9oz
Weight of rifle and scope - 11lb
Model and cross hair type in scope - it doesn't say the model but looks like an A1 Reticle
It is a 3 + 1 magazine with a floor plate

Thanks

A rifle of that quality doesn’t come along every day!
 
Good luck in selling this gorgeous rifle. Glad you finally received an estimate of value!

Stalker91, Just confirming my interest again. Discuss by PM. Thanks.
 
Lovely. If you are interested in selling ammunition / components / scope separately please let me know.

I am in the UK and own a 404J myself.

Scrummy
 
@Stalker91 Thats a stunner of a bandook (rifle). My Farther in law lives in Wellingborough :unsure: its like the rifle is talking to me.

Best of luck with the sale

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
