I still haven't decided what mine will be. I was initially leaning toward a 505 Gibbs, but I am not sure I could afford to shoot it! Same goes for 500 Jeffery I guess. Or a Nyati, or T-Rex! I'll probably go with a 500 A-square, or another 470 Mbogo. Cheers, Canuck | |||

Got one slated for 505 Gibbs since I have an extra barrel. Haven't decided about the second, maybe a 416 Rigby. I'd like to see what others have in mind. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Are the PHs soon to come down the pike? I know you guys have been waiting a long time-- just like we LH, SS, long-action magnum guys waited a long time. I hope you get your actions soon. I got mine in November and saw it barrelled and bedded into the stock just last week. Now, it is going to take three more months and $600 more to finish out the Richard's Microfit stock. By the time it's done, that stock will have cost me $189 to buy it, $550 to pillar-bed and glas-bed, and $600 to bring to final shape and finish. That's around $1300-- I should have had a V-8 (or at least bought several McMillans...). | |||

Sure don't need another magnum length action but might get one just to squirrel away, maybe stainless 416 bolt face. NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS. Shoot & hunt with vintage classics. | |||

I want build another .585 Nyati, this time it will have more metal on the bolt due to the .850" bolt dimater. I also want to be 11 pounds and I only want to acheive 750gr woodleigh at 2150-2200 fps so that recoil is not to brutal. No break either and it will be wood stocked. | |||

My origional plan was a 470 Mbogo, 500A2, 600 OK and470 A&M. Since I got tired of waiting it will probably be a 500 Jeff, 585-600OK, 585 Nyati, and maybe a trex. ALthough I am open to sugestions. So let em fly. I may even have the AR prefix to the serial numbers. That might be a nice touch. I'll start another thread so as not to hijack this one. John | |||

I will build the rifle in a classic british express style and chamber it for my .510 wildcat based on the gibbs case. I really wish that Montana Rifle Co. would get their rears into gear in regard to the PH action. I really want to build this rifle and have been waiting for a year and a half. ---Catter Shoot the largest caliber you can shoot well, and practice, practice, practice. | |||

I was thinking the Rigby would be the most common/practical route. Keep them coming guys. Mike | |||
