Factory chambered 404 Jeffery made by Montana Rifle Company. Customized Model 1999 controlled feed mauser action. If you saw the post recently resurrected about this rifle up for sale by Andrew Short and customized on his specs.(Andrew feel free to correct me if I am incorrect). Very nice rifle in excellent condition.
There are photos on his original post, but I will post some just to reassure people that I have the rifle in my possession.
Upgrades:
NECG sights including night sight
Barrel band sling mount
Classy semi gloss bluing
Threaded for muzzle brake, but currently wearing the thread protector

I recently moved from Alaska to Arizona and have yet to find the muzzle brake or the Talley QD rings, but I’ll keep looking.
The rifle weighs 9.2#, LOP is13 3/4”

I think that I have fired the rifle 3 or 4 times in one day since I got it. It functioned well. Very smooth action. It has not been hunted while I’ve owned it.
I have way too many safe queens and doubt that I’ll return to Africa so I’m going to reduce my gun inventory in the coming months. I have the Montana Rifle company box in which it arrived to me in Alaska.

I’m asking $4000 OBO, plus shipping. I am now located in southeast Arizona
thanks for looking

Great price. If I didn’t have a .416 and a .505 I would be interested.
 
What is this "sleeping"?
 
When did you buy the rifle?

EDIT - Disregard, I saw your post from 2021.

Ron, the rifle looks as if it’s never been out of the box. It’s a very nice rifle that would serve someone well!
If you have ammunition or components, list those items as well. 404 components are hard to come by right now.
 
Wow!!! If I had not bought Krish 404 MRC with gold engraving given I am a sucker for that this rifle would be gone. Just enter 404 Jeffery caliber rifle for sale and nothing under $10,000 available. If you want a 404 this is a no brainer
 
Thank God the Bolts on the wrong side.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
