I like my 404. I have to admit, I have no real need for it. I am never going back to Africa, and my 375H&H covers more uses for N. America, but I used a 404 for a 9 month period of time when I was 20-21 years old and loved the rifle. So I made one for myself later.

I agree with the post above. It deserves a classic stock.

The 404 was made to be a bolt-action version of the 450/400. The original load does that perfectly. It fired a 400 grain bullet at 2150 FPS. The newer loads are the same ballisticly as the original 416 Rigby. 400 gr bullet at 2350 FPS.

I load mine at 2200. It's quite accurate. I have a 2X Weaver on it and I can hold 4 rounds into about 1-1/4" at 100 yards. All I could ask for, from a 404.

Some time in the next 1-2 years I will take it out for elk, or maybe deer and antelope.

Why?
Why not!
