After returning home from South Africa last May, I was talking about adding a .375 HH to the gun collection after I used Marius' (@KMG Hunting Safaris) for my giraffe. Well, I got one and I LOVE IT, however, @Shootist43 recommended I look into a .404 Jeffery. So, I began reading about them and decided I needed a Jeffery also.
Long story short, the other morning after I got off work (night shift nurse) I went and met @ActionBob and purchased one from him!!!

I, unfortunately, do not get to see Mike much because we are both always at work, but we are both home today and I finally got to see him and show him the newest member of the family. He was quite pleased and has already purchased ammo for me so, as soon as the weather cooperates, we will be taking the new rifle out to the range.

That looks like a handy rifle!
 
Congratulations.
 
Beauty of a rifle you have, congratulations.
Do you have plans for any modifications?
 
Hey Gina!
Bob is a sucker for a pretty lady, that’s the only way that you can get a gun away from him! Lol
Congratulations on the 404, hope you kill a buff of a lifetime with with it. Just don’t let Mike stake claim to it! Ha
Cheers,
Cody
 
Congrats on the 404J but I usually tell @Shootist43 about useful calibers and he goes out and buys one thus adding it to my inheritance, I don't spend my owe money on them.
 
I love the .375 H&H caliber. I carried in Tanzania and used it on all kinds of game, up to elephant and down to dik-dik. Lots of power, and not unpleasant to shoot.

Yea Cody, I had a day or two seller's remorse. But went out and bought a couple others so I think I'm almost over it. :unsure:
 
@Just Gina I'm really looking forward to reading your next hunt report! I truly hope that rifle helps fulfill your dreams of a successful buffalo hunt:)

In the mean time take care of yourself and Mike as you take care of all those patients ;)

yes he does and I’m hoping he will adopt me at some point.

congrats Gina. Can you tell us a little more about the new addition

I had no doubt that is how you were gonna get past your empty spot in your safe buddy!
 
Congratulations! Next to the .375 H&H, a .404J is by far the the best overall African caliber IMO.
 
Awesome! I'm jealous, congrats!

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
