Very nice. Not even near a working rifle. Just not over embellished like the usual WR works.

I wonder who wrote the WR Eplorer article? A Diggory article?

2,150 fps for a 400 gr .404 Jeffery is not the modern velocity. It's the original velocity. The modern velocity would be 2,350 fps.

The .404 Jeffery also did not become "obsolete" in the 1960s. How is a rimless .423 calibre cartridge producing a velocity greater than a .416 Chatfield-Taylor, greater than a .450/400 NE, greater than a .416 Remington Magnum, near a .416 Rigby be obsolete?

More correctly ammunition became hard to source just like all the Nitro Express cartridges and similar era cartridges.

Very nice usable rifle by WR. A .404 and a .318, two excellent vintage cartridge choices for medium and big and dangerous game. A classic safari armoury, a wise client with class.
