.404 Jeffery Mauser Rifle by DORLEAC

We completed the making of this safari rifle in 2010.
Unfortunately the original owner sells this piece for health reasons and as this rifle has well served him on several West Africa safaris it has just been the subject of a full overhaul in our workshop.
This .404 Jeffery uses a rare Original Mauser solid wall action with front flat top only.
The blue printed mechanism has been optimized for the DGX® 400-grains cartridge and uses a high-capacity magnum magazine, side swing two positions safety and a single stage trigger.
The 26" Lothar Walther match grade barrel sports a rear express sight whose the wide V standard is highlighted by an inlaid gold triangle while the two folding leaflets are gold lined, the whole regulated on an interchangeable caterpillar front sight set on an elongated ramp with fold away protector.
The rifle is equipped with an illuminated reticle 1.25-4x20 Schmidt & Bender fitted on traditional claw mounts for easy scope dismantling without loss of zero. The front base is brazed on the barrel while the rear lock is inserted in the receiver bridge.
The French walnut stock follows our modernized classic style with straight comb, beaded oval cheekpiece, trapped grip cap and leather covered soft butt pad.
Action, barrel and magazine are rust blued, the furniture, grip cap and some fittings are bone and charcoal color case hardened while the extractor blade and ejector box spring are nitre blued.
This perfectly balanced rifle weighs 8lbs 11oz.

Regards to all.
