Greetings all, What's a good average muzzle diameter/profile for the 404 Jeffrey? What have other's chosen? What do the CZs run? Thanks | ||

The barrel on my original 1905 Jeffery 404 has a 24" bbl that is .725" at the muzzle.

.423 diameter +.125+.125 = 0.673 minimum or what Duane said. "A long life, and the good sense to live it." ...Quintis Arrius 375H&H,404J,416DAK,458AFR,416RIG,450RIG,505GIB Avatar: Gregory Peck & Susan Hayward in Africa NRA member | |||

On this old original there was plenty of weight toward the breech end and then a fairly rapid thinning curve just past the barrel mounted sling attachment.

Pac-nor has that original Jeffery contour programmed. A little over $300. Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

I'd second trying to keep it at .675" at the business end. I just carried mine around for about 4-6 miles a day in Africa for 10 days and I wish it had a thinner profile barrel and lighter stock!

If you actually carry your rifle weight always is an issue. My original Jeffery 404 weighs 8 1/2 pounds and I find that a comfortable blend of carry ability and shoot ability Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Mine is 10.8 lbs with scope; figure more with sling and ammo. "Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid" -- Ronald Reagan "Ignorance of The People gives strength to totalitarians."

 Depending on ones choice of scope and sling this one would weigh about the same Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

You Alaskan's are always sticking your rifles in the mud or leaving them out in the rain.....guess that is to wash the mud off.  | |||

I just received my Lothar Walther 423-14 w/#5130 contour. I had them cut the barrel to 24”. The barrel measures .625 at the muzzle. I plan on having it chambered for the 404/375. This barrel should make a very light rifle. Jim | |||
