History of the venerable 404 Jeffery: Research notes from Von Gruff
Good day to all members, here is a link to information accumulated by a good friend of mine on the African Hunting .com forum..Von Gruff build a 404 Jeffery for himself , it was a great shooting/looking rifle in the 404 Caliber ..
Beforehand he really did a great deal of research on the 404 Jeffery caliber`s history..and so gathered a lot of interesting information ..
I really think members with a interest in the 404 Jeffery caliber rifle maybe for a future purchase or build would enjoy this info

I have a 404 and its my go to rifle for most things, its fun to shoot, not too bad recoil, meet damage is minimal. I have QR mounts for a 1.5-6 scope, but the scope is removed for BASA shoots.

Eagerly awaiting the license for my .404 Jeffrey! Handed it in early feb so starting to hope for some good news soon. Busy planning an eland hunt, the first animal I will hopefully take with it. Can not wait!

Robert, something I noticed when using my 404 Jeffery to hunt blue wildebeest and impala with 350 gn Stewarts core bonded bullets...all one shot kills but still a lot of meat damage like huge holes through the ribs and blown away part of the spine...other members suggest I use solids in hunting plains game...
