Suppressed 7mm/404
Published: March 28th, 2008
I spotted this rifle over at longrangehunting.com. Is it anti-air artillery or a deer rifle? 😀
Built by a New Zealander … they sure know how to build a cool rifle.

The rifle has a custom suppressor with a muzzle break! Here is a close up:
I assume the “404” refers to the 404 Jeffries.
my suppressed 7mm/404 which weighs 20 pounds all up, and pushes a 180 grain Berger at 3350 fps.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

It is a bit odd. A muzzle break directs noise towards to the shooter, it does not make more noise (at least in theory). The muzzle break could be on the rifle to reduce muzzle rise and recoil in order to get back on target faster.
Well, when your shooting a 180 gr. berger at, what was it?, 3350 fps, you dont really need a follow up. Unless you shoot like me. ;)
