Wanted 404 Jeffrey Or 470 NE

[Tanks]

...
If Mr. Rowland Ward shows up at no less than 150 yards away, I would have a hard time (I wouldn't even try) making the shot with a DR in .470.

He is looking for a buffalo rifle. Furthest one I ever shot was last year at about 60 yards.

Then he will also need a gun rack for his Lamborghini.

Yea you are of course correct again.

He should re-barrel an Arisaka that was dug out of the mud and brought back. He could just get some long deck screws and attach a pieces of 2x4 to increase the LOP. Probably get it all put together under $800 and have a 404 Jeffrey!

Buffalo.....means 400 caliber so 404 Jeff or 416 Rigby.......there will be pg involved . . I would look at 375 H&H, 404 Jeff or 416 Rigby all 3 will do buff and pg with the 375 H&H being the most versatile as an allrounder....forget about the 470 NE......

Two pages, no budget target from the OP.

PM if you'd like, I know where a few examples are in the $30,000-$300,000 price range, and I know where some unusable, unreliable, broken ones are for $4000.

Budget sets the tone for what is the best gun for the money amongst the calibers stated, with the requirement of killing buffalo.

Hint: amongst the three, 416 Rigby rifles will the highest quality at the lowest price of the three choices, all things being equal. (supply/demand)

.404 Jeffery is too hard to find ammo or components

In general you are right. But, if you have enough patience you can still grab components for a reasonable price.

I bought 50 pieces of new norma brass for approx. 300$ last week

I would always choose a .404 out of the three mentioned choices...

 

[IvW]

If you going to hunt 1 maybe 2 buffalo and pg there should only be 1 choice 375 H&H with the right bullet.....

I disagree... The OP did not differentiate which of the 416's he is considering. I would argue the lowest priced of the Classic looking 416's is likely a Winchester M70 in 416 Rem Mag. Even lower cost woukd be a Ruger M77 Hawkeye in 416 Ruger.

It is notable that the OP has 2 posts and not been back... His post with lack of details is reminisce of a Facebook post

Build a .404-375 h&h if you like the bullet…
ive been really considering this lately!
I want a Jeff in the worst way but the lack of components is an issue. I am still considering building one and just making it a couple years goal…putting it up on an auction site afterwards hahaha

(I speak from a total lack of experience as far as Africa goes…)

A build is a good idea , it takes a while and you should be able to gather components whilst you wait…mine took about a year all together. Nothing fancy but it works for me.

I like what you’ve done with the barrel there. beauty!
