True enough, though IMO a Win M-70-length action with the mag and rear receiver opened as standard for a 375H&H-length probably makes the 404 Jeff build a bit more flexible. Although historically doable on the M-98 Mauser, IMO the 404 Jeff (COAL 3.53") really pushes the design length of the action as it was originally designed for the 57mm cartridge family (COAL 3.065-3.35") IIRC.
