I took the plunge and ordered a Parkwest Arms Dark Continent 404 Jeffrey today! So far the only options I added are, two panel bolt handle checkering, wrap around grip checkering, and my initials engraved on the stock medallion. I will be sending them a very nice stock blank my wife purchased for me as a Christmas gift for the stock. I may add color case hardening, but still thinking about what other options I might add. It's going to be a long year waiting for it to be completed!

Wow. What a piece of wood.
 
will be a stellar rifle! Perhaps red recoil pad, flip up nite sight. They sure do want a pile for one fixed , 1 folding sight, but…classic
I was thinking about doing just that!
 
Got a question for you. When you supply the wood for the stock, do they charge you less for the rifle?

Yes, but it's a small discount! I'm using that stock blank because my wife bought if for me and I want to use it on a rifle that I will take to Africa.

Congratulations! Two months ago I ordered a Bushveld in 404J with multiple upgrades. A month ago, I started looking at the 416 Rigby Dark Continent on their website for sale and I almost bought it but I really wanted the 404. After waffling around and driving Jessica crazy (she’s very patient) I switched the order to a Savanna in 404j with a ton of upgrades. I can’t wait!

Keep me informed on when they start on it! I bet it's going to be a nice rifle!
 
Congratulations! That will be one fine rifle!

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
