My 404 is finally done

Proneshooter, i sincerely wish you are not offended by my joke.
The rifle is simply fantastic!
In my ignorance of the American medium-small gun manufacturers ,I never heard the name "Satterlee"
Do they produce actions starting from raw material or are they working on existing actions?

No offence taken, though I will admit had not explained the photo in your next post, the joke would have gone over my head. Stuart Satterlee produces his actions from the ground up. He is an amazing machinist and gunsmith. I never thought I would be able to own two of his actions (375 build in progress).

Welcome to the 404 Jeffery club, there is not a greater rifle to shoot with than the 404 Jefery. It is my "go to " rifle when hunting bushveld game as well as plains game . If ever I get an opportunity to hunt buffalo, it will be the rifle I want to use shooting a 450gn bullet ."The most perfect rifle/bullet combination hunting buffalo " Dr. Kevin Robertson...

What will you do to prevent scratches /damage on Safari in Africa when hunting dangerous game ???

Gert,
My last 404 got lost when a hippo turned over our boat (cough, cough, wink, wink). I will not do a darn thing special to stop any scratches. Remember, chicks dig scratches....or is that scars?

Thanks Mike,
Lots side jobs to pay for this one, looking forward to getting my next Buffalo in the sights. I have an 8 year old kid in Zimbabwe who has claimed this rifle as his, told him not until I cannot walk anymore. He's going to get my 318 WR someday, but not yet.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
