We gonna stick with 24 and check the balance and then chop if needed to 22 before blueingI
I really agree with your rifle build. I would go with a Bell & Carlson synthetic stock, but that is just personal choice. One question what barrel length have you decided on. My preference would be 22”.
Yes 3 position Win safety for ZKK AND CZIwV
They also produce safeties for ZKK, as per your picture?
This is not a peep sight but rather a ghost ring much better and faster than express V. We are considering fitting a qd Aimpoint sight as well.@IvW - I know some people prefer the peep sight, have you considered the express V? Any opinion on a reddot? I see more reddots on DG rifles lately and everyone tells me they shoot it better and faster than open
Bolt is already straight and perfect for "palm of hand" operatiinFar from an expert but perhaps sweep to bolt handle up a bit so that it is easier to work the action with palm of hand ?
Appreciate if you can pleaseStraight on I think can find out
They fit straight on you just need to transfer your trigger....Quite fancy one of those for my 500 Jeffrey....do they fit straight on...or need fitting?
See aboveAppreciate if you can please![]()
I have a few rifles with Boyds stocks in both Laminate and solid wood. I always preferred the solid wood over the Lam. I have had two Jeffs built for me and had wood stocks installed on both, I think solid wood stocks look better than the lam especially on an old school 404Daughter sais Pepper or Nutmeg.....or a nice piece of Walnut.....
The beauty of the old Mannlicher Schoenauers was that they did have cast off and many other nuances which caused them to feel so much more like a shotgun when used with open sights.
A good stock maker will fit a stock properly to the shooter including cast off or onWood or laminate are more conducive to custom stock fitting. I don't know if any of the composite stock manufacturers include any provision for cast off/on or differing comb height, for example.

I have since desided exactly what you suggest on the front sight....no hood proper front sight but we might add the pop up low light front sight....she may want o start with the rifle as 375 H&H with custom 340gr bullets which will out penetrate 500gr 458 bullets at lower recoil than the 404....so we will see.....with a added qd scope setup she will also have a true allrounder to compliment her 30-06 and 308/12ga comination gun.IVW,
like your choices. i don't like hooded front sights, (even pop up) i think the tough, low light, large bead front sight is the right answer.
re the stock, i think the laminate (what ever color you like) is a good choice, a touch heavier, very stable and tougher than regular wood. they even have pillars in them i believe, so bedding should be a touch easier.
good choices all around in my never to be humble opinion
