Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only 404 jeff or the 416 taylor

elkhunter,
love the rifle

I have played around with 416 Rigby's and 404 Jeffery's.
I have since settled on a 416 Remington.. I like the better selection of 416 bullets and plan on working up a loads for the Barnes 350gr TSX and 300gr TSX..

I love the history of the 404, and used one to take a buffalo in Africa. If I could find the right rifle, I would own another one.
When I started my big bore journey, I looked very hard at the Taylor cartridge, and had it been commercialized, I probably would have went that direction.

So back to the original question. For kicks and giggles, I would probably choose a Taylor for pragmatism and the Jeffery for nostalgia. So whatever tickles your fancy.
