I was on GunBroker and happened to notice a NULA Model 32 in .404 Jeffrey.
I've fired one that was 9.375 lb (+ Scope) in a CZ550 Lux (Stock design tends to reduce recoil at the expense of muzzle climb). It was tolerable from a standing bench (not that much worse than a .375 H&H). I can't imagine shooting one from a 7.25 lb rifle with a straight stock. Sure seems like it would be punishing.
Would you buy a 7.25 lb .404 Jeffrey with a straight stock?
