ForrestBVery nice work Ken. I hope the custom I'm building on the action you sold me will turn out as nice.
What would it cost to duplicate the rifle as shown?

The gun is about $12K as shown, not cheaper than many of the best makers in the US. The big advantage is the delivery time.
BTW, gun weighs 8lb, 6oz with a 24" barrel.
I having V-C make a 6.5x55 on a BRNO H21 small ring action next.

clayman216I noted no cross bolts. Are there internal cross bolts ?
How is the rifle bedded ? Is it sighted to a specific load ? What is the length of pill ?

The org 404's did not have cross bolts. The 404 is a low pressure fairly mild cartridge and with the proper wood its not needed. If however you want a gun with cross bolts I can have V-C make a gun to your specs.
The gun was sighted using factory ammo, Norma or Hornady.
LOP is about 15"

customboltKen, Is V-C's version of French Gray a chemical process? Lots of smoke out there on the subject. Ray
Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.
No, it is a heat treatment process

That is a fantastic looking rifle and if they can deliver others like it in a similiar price range they should quickly end up back ordered.
Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

I guess I'm a suck egg mule. There's fault to be found with almost every rifle...even the finest custom guns. This 404 is nice (especially for the price) but far from perfect. For starters, the checkering is pretty poor.

fla3006I wasn't gonna say it, but ditto on the checkering. I've noticed that on some of their doubles too, which otherwise are also very nice.
