That rifle belongs to my wife. I'm not even allowed to look at it without permission.

This 404 is a true bargain, and it's one of Africas greatest calibers..I prefer it to any 40 caliber out there..

The M-70 RUM conversions are very successful as the action is correct for the .404 Jefferys. At $2500 it is a bloody steal and I know you can't come close to duplicating it for that kind of money...

I can't imagine selling it to buy a Hyem...or wanting a 450 over a .404 for that matter!

Unfortunately I am presently building a .404 Jefferys on one of Searcy RSA actions and its getting close to completion. 60 days ago I would have jumped on this one like a duck on a June bug..

Ray,

Thanks for the plug! I hate to sell it, but it makes more sense for me to buy the Heym because I already have a Model 70 .416 Rem. I actually shot the .404 this weekend out at Wendell Reich's ranch, and hit the bullseye at 60 yards off hand; that REALLY made me want to keep it, but it has to go.
