Pre 64 Winchester Model 70 404 Jeffery

[Rare Breed]

I will take the rifle and all reloading supplies for your $2500. plus please supply me with Mark Banser contact information

My bad everyone TO BE TRANSPARANT… I am offering $2,000 for everything not $2500 my bad. I have sent a PM for $2,000. If someone wants to give full asking price of $2500 the gun with supplies is yours otherwise it is mine to play with

To all concerned fine sirs,
Rifle is 4 down and one in the chamber!!! Cartridge feed into chamber and extraction was smooth and without fail! Surprising given it is a factory magazine carrier with no attachment of the spring into bottom of stock or the missing bottom metal Ontario keenly pointed out earlier in the thread!
Shown now is the ported business end of the rifle and a photo depicting overall length of said barrel. One could determine about 1 1/2 inches port. Given overall length port could easily be removed and not interfere with proper velocity of the bespoke 404 Jeffery slugs!!!
Lets keep going!!

That clarifies things! I see Swift-Blackburn sells pre-64 Model 70 bottom metal in 375 @ $425 in the white. I was happy with 98 Mauser bottom metal I bought from them for my 404 project. Required polishing the machining marks on trigger guard and floorplate but still a lot cheaper than Sunny Hill ($700!). Here's what it looked like finished and blued.

Anyone interested in purchasing this firearm?

If I hadn’t already bought one this week I would be on this like ugly on an ape.

To be clear my offer was respectively turned down…someone will get a fun rifle to redo as you see fit in an incredible caliber. This will not list long at his price

A keen eyed slueth in the dark of night(myself) noticed there is no sliding rear v blade on the rear sight ramp. My apologies. I will do my best to dig one up that satisfies a would be buyers requirements!! If not consider it bargaining chips!!

Here are the components I have for the 404. The brass has only been fired in this rifle. Each case measured with a Hornady headspace comparator and resized .003. Each case then function tested thru rifle and cleaned in a walnut media and then ultrasonic cleaner. Standard DG stuff.

Even at the asking price, and one doesn't go Nuts on a stock you could find bottom metal EZ enough it depends on how much you like to scrounge (e-bay and other sources) Having reloading dies available is a big plus, a guy could come up with a very shootable Jeffery

My Jeff built on a Winchester 375 Donor action. The Super Grade stock I grabbed off E-bay right after I got sellers remorse after selling my CZ550
