404 Rodda
02/08/10 04:34 AM

A rare beautiful 404 sold by Rodda in India and made on a Mauser M 98 action by Schuler of Germany. The rifle is chambered for the 404 Jeffrey cartridge. ( 404 EXP or the 10.75 x 73). The rifle is in its original form except for the Pachmayr recoil pad. The original buffalo horn butt plate gave a sore shoulder!! The rifle has a cape buffalo horn forend and pistol grip cap. It shows a rare foreend cross wedge to take up the recoil. The walnut is european with straight grain to give strength in holding up against heavy recoil. It was described by the German Gun Collectors Association as a rare masterpeice by August Schuler. The German markings are all beneath the Walnut to attract British buyers considering the Anglo- German rivalry of those years. A classic dangerous game rife, more than 80 years old but lovingly cared for It has a few bison and tigers to its name. The pictures dont do justice the rifle looks better in real
