Re: Experiences with the 404 Jeffery?
Thank you for your detailed responses Cordite, I appreciate it. I have read both these threads but was interested to see if many other guys had used them for hunting since those ones were posted. I have spoken to Gert and have his friend Johan’s number, I may need to give him a call at some stage. That factory rifle pricing is scary!

Re: Experiences with the 404 Jeffery?
Yes, unfortunately none of these hobbies are exactly cheap haha! You are dead right, at least you can have it built to your desired specs. I find it interesting how this caliber has such an attraction for most individuals who already have ones that are similar on paper. It’s great that it still has such a following.

Re: Experiences with the 404 Jeffery?
It is my go to bush calibre.
I have shot Impala right through to buffalo and it has never disappointed.
The recoil is manageable with my 2250/fps.
I shoot peregrine points.
It is not a round designed to chase speed, if you want to do that, rather get a 416.
The furthest shot I have taken is around 200m but it is comfortable up to 150m.
In my biased opinion there is no better bushveld calibre.
