88MauSporter,

Thank You for your imput. I agree with you as to choosing the .404 Jeffery over present .416's and the .458 Win. Mag.. I have seen 375's like yours built on standard length Mausers and have never heard of anyone having a problem. I am sure that the action is not quite as strong after it has been opened up, but at the same time do not feel from all that I have been told here on the forum that it is dangerious in any way as long as you do not try and use the rifle for a proof rifle.

since I do not intend to ever use reloads and only buy factory ammo, I do not see where there should be a problem. I realize that the work must be performed by a competent gunsmith, but in all honesty this goes without saying on any work performed on a rifle.

I imagine if your rifle could take, it would have some very interesting stories to tell. I also imagine that more elephant have been taken with a 375 H&H or smaller caliber than anyone will ever know. For this reason I am cofident that the .404 Jeffery will do just fine on any game I would come in contact with now know to be on this earth.
