I went through the same. I ended up with a .333 Jeffery.




I do like the idea of a .338/404. As you know I have talked about a .318 WR for ages. Money has been an impediment as is sourcing a donor rifle. The .318 WR is a .330/06, well almost an '06. This might still happen. Need a suitable CZ or other .30-06 to rebarrel when the $$$ are available.

But a cartridge with a .338 bore is so much more useful these days with a much greater range of projectiles available.

I also have resisted the idea as for hunting, I can do it anyway with my 8x68S.

But a .338/404 does have and has long has a great attraction.

A really quick solution would be a custom barrel for a Mauser M03 in .338/404. If it fits in the .404 magazine, and feeds OK, BANG, It could happen.

Allegedly there are one to three custom barrel makers for the M03, I have been told. Nothing on their websites though. What their prices are, I don't know. Will enquire.

Add a 7mm/404 for the same, and I would have all three, 7mm, .338 and the original .404.
