Price: $4000.00 OBO
Overview
Custom-built .404 Jeffery by MG Arms (owned by Kari O’Day) on a true left-hand Charles Daly Zastava (M98) action — NOT a conversion. Fiberglass stock, professionally bedded and finished. Proven hunting rifle with African provenance: one-shot Cape buffalo and successful on other plains-game species. Includes Tally QD bases & rings. Hits hard for a dangerous-game caliber, but recoil off the sticks is hardly noticeable and is easily manageable with the stock profile.

Key Details
My first buffalo with this rifle. One shot with 400 grain Barnes TSX FB. Ran about 75 yards and expired. Game warden confirmed this buffalo was the oldest taken in the Klaserie that year at 14-1/2.
