Saw a really nice 404 Jeff on the AHR website, seems like a decent price too. Any thoughts on whether this is a good deal?

Price it out. His grade 3 pulse dies etc will put you over $4000 without the basic rifle.

Wayne has always seemed fair for what you get.

We are selling the 404 for another AR member. Everything you need to get into a 404 is there and priced very reasonable. It's got a killer piece of dark English walnut to boot.

If Wayne built it, it's good to go anywhere, anytime.

What Biebs said.

Thanks much for the input!

Forgot to mention; our lifetime warranty goes with the rifle.

Wow! Beautiful rifle.

Still tempting ….

Wayne builds the most dependable custom rifles on the CZ actions. He is the man to talk to.

Plus, he is a genuinely fine human being.

My friend said I needed something between my 375 H&H and 450 Rigby. I have a 416 Rigby but not a 404 (he also said I need a 9.3 x 62 so I got one....my friend costs me lots of money LOL)
I had looked around at standard factory 404's and decided they were expensive, and didn't have a lot of "character" to them. I wanted something different. What I chose to do (after much research) was to take a 375 H&H and have it rebarrelled to 404. I found a used 375 H&H Model 70 All Weather Stainless Controlled Round Feed for a decent price. I know I mentioned I didn't find standard factory rifles appealing but I personally have yet to see a 404 Jeffery in Stainless. I thought it might be interesting to have one built. Corlane's in BC will be doing the work. They will be using either a PacNor or Lilja barrel (they already have the chamber reamer). Very little gunsmithing is needed. I'm going to end up with an "All Weather Rifle" in 404 Jeffery for around $2500 (I'm getting a few extra's added hence the $2500 tag).
I'm purchasing dies/shellholder from CH4D in Ohio.
I would like to get some RWS brass (needle in a haystack time) but will use Norma if I can't get RWS. I have a few BELL cases that a friend gave me.
Looking forward to shooting it!

Sounds like you will have a Great coastal brown bear rifle. !! What twist will the barrel be? Sights,scope?

Wayne=The best

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you Cold Trigger Finger.
Barrel length is 24" with target crown, and rate of twist is 1/14. The rear sight will stay on the rifle (std Williams adjustable). I'm having a wrap around front sight (like you would find on a CZ) installed. I will be putting a Nikon Monarch 3 1-4x20 w/German #4 reticle scope on it. Rings & bases will be Leupold either QR's or DD's. I think I was also having a barrel band also installed for the sling.
Got a call from Corlanes on Friday saying my barrel had arrived. So just waiting my turn for assembly

The 404 is my all time favorite "big bore" but I'm a nostalgic and most 404 users are and for that reason we chose the 404...IMO a 404 should be a English rifle, or a first class custom rifle and this rifle is certainly that.

For a Alaskan rifle I would opt for any of the larger calibers from a 338 up, and prefer stainless steel and plastic..Don't like stainless and plastic guns, but a hunter should own one at least.
