Jeffe,
Gotta be a 470 Mbogo, just because.

Use it to make something special, put all of that big bolt face to good use. Maybe the .600 OK if you are interested, or maybe buy the rest of the .505 Gibbs parts and finish.

.505 Gibbs. I know where you can get a killer deal on a new barrel!

How about the fabolous .500 Rafiki?

go the .600 OK Jeffo !!

Marc,
I thought long and hard on the barrel, and the final decision was that I thought the #7 would be too heavy for *me*, but not for anyone else.

The bubba's already have a 505 to shoot!! Thanks Harry

jeffe

Why mess around Jeffe? Why not build something that will throw some lead out there.

416 Barrett, shortened and necked down .50 BMG and would suit a Texas gun nut fine.

Jeffe, the 600 Ok or a 505 although a 470 Mbogo would be nice if you didn't have a MRC action on order.

Personally I think everyone needs a 600 OK. Simply one of the best big bores out there and surprisingly shootable.

Sent you an email about the 600 as I've got a bunch of components lying around here.

Will call you later.

I ordered the #8 contour so I would have enough meat to turn it to a profile that I wanted. If anyone else is interested in the barrel, I can turn the profile for you before I ship. For a small fee, of course.

Jeffe- you know where the .600Ok reamer is. There is only one right answer.-Rob

That's an easy one, you gotta have a 600

hey Rob,
you wanna send John the reamer? Oh g's...
Do i REALLY want to build this thing?
jeffe

you know, a 404 may not be such a bad idea...

jeffe

Nah, you don't want to use that big ole bauska on a piddly 404

but it will hold ALOT of 404's!!

What about the 510 Mbogo?

Jeffe, Did you ever build a 600 OK?

404 Jeffery or 450 Rigby

I think a .257 caliber is terrific. I only know two guys with a 257 STW and they tell me this is one HELL of a cartridge....too much of a good thing.

I vote for the .470 Capstick. I realize it's not on your list but I think it is a fitting chambering.

He sold it to me if it is same one.....
and I got my 585HE in it. As good action as
my 585HE Enfields, Ruger, Nef...Ed

Jeffe

You have to go 585, something about that mystical number. Go against the trend Jeffe, something different. How about a Nyati

regards
S&F

Yup. That's the one, Ed.

Yep .. sold it to ed ..
why stop at 585 when there's the 600?

I voted 550G but a 416Rigby woul dbe nice too. The action is really too big for the 257wby & would be a waste of a good big bore action. If you want to go that route, sell it or trade it for a more suitable action. A buddy built a 404j on one, turned out great, but I still think it's a bit big for that.

You need a coyote gun . I voted for the STW. Unless you just need to be hit in the head some more . #2 choice is the 470 .. It is real close to the 475 A&M a great round . . Do you have a 460 Whby yet ??

Your right, with an action that big.....go for it.

But somehow I think you know the answer Jeffe........go on just do it.

The 600 OK all the way.

Oh well, here goes.
My 585 outdo 600.
New ideas- good.
Competition is good..Ed
