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.

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.

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.

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.

Shoot the largest caliber you can shoot well, and practice, practice, practice.

I'm leaning towards a .416 Rigby on mine if it ever gets here...

I was thinking the Rigby would be the most common/practical route.

Keep them coming guys.
