Been following this one with real interest. As has been said the Ruger case is the best thing to come along in a long while and if I hadn't just built a Jeffery the Ruger would be the go. Testing is a bit academic as a 400gn Woodleigh at 2350fps to 2400fps is a well proven performer, and with the GS Custom 320gn HV bullet it would be as good as an all rounder as the Jeffery is but in a standard length action which seems to ring all the bells for most people now.
I did a similar thing with a set of Ruger rings and used a set of Warne levers to make them more easily QD although this was on a 7x57 wih bolt mounted aperture sight as primary. Just an aperture on the 404 though.
