Hello vegard dino,

I aquired an used Frankonia Favorit in .404 Rimless on a DWM-98 system.
It shoots good with open sights, I chronographed my loads for 702 m/sec for a 400grs bullet.
It feeds without any problems the bullets of Woodleigh SPRN and FMJ and RWS FMJ

...and is intended for use on a cape buffalo :-)

my suggestions for modification of a 98based rifle in 404 are:
- larger magazine floor plate to have at least a four-round mag capacity
- shorten the barrel to 58cm
- glass bedding the action
- two cross bolts
- good trigger in a steel housing, not aluminum
- horizontal three position safety (Win70)
- and a nice, leather covered, broad recoil pad...

best regards
Rolf
