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.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
