What's the barrel length? Apologies if I missed it.

I load with 80 Grains of H4350 and get an average velocity of 2210 in my rifle. I personally don't need to load it up to 2300 fps. The difference on game is negligible. For me anywhere in that range and find the load for accuracy.

I once took a ship from San Diego to the coast of Somalia, there wasn't much interaction with the locals though. For some reason the presence of Wasp class amphibious assault ship slowed down the local industry for a while. We cruised around off the coast for 128 days, I was quite bored. It...

Is there a mark on top of the barrel just in front of the receiver? It looks like it in one of the photos.

I'd put money this isn't a rifle Reto built. He might have sold it on consignment at some point. It isn't anywhere near his level of quality and honestly it looks to me like someone is using his literature for marketing purposes. The misspelling of his name should raise enough questions as is...

I'm game for some 404!

Coming in at a towering 5'5" I had my 404 built with a 23" barrel. That is as short as Reto Buehler recommended for a 404 while still allowing proper balance and handling. Obviously I went with a slightly shorter barrel because with a 24" or longer barrel they end up stuck in the mud. Other...

Matt is as good of a guy as they come. I had some work done by him and wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again. You should also check out his Youtube channel for some incredible gunsmithing content.

I suggest a bespoke 22 hornet double, regulated for the Peregrine Bushmaster bullets. Purely because I dream big, even with tiny targets. :D

Look up hotline munitions. They are the new importers, they should be able to get you set up.

Interesting take on his end.

Is there a good story to the hunt? Plus the south Texas heat and humidity are what make it fun (said sarcastically). What'd you shoot him with?

Thanks for the detailed info on Peregrine bullets. This is the kind of quality information I have been looking for. I have some .308 diameter bullets and have a strong urge to use them in my 404.

I have plenty. I'll shut up so we can continue the thread.

Fair enough, Just figured I'd ask.
