Me and my 505

Nice looking iron, but we need details man. Details.

That safety looks familiar. Is that a Weatherby Mark V action?

George, I'm pretty sure that's an Enfield, but I could be wrong. The pic's a little fuzzy.

Not my style - I like wood and express sights - but to each his own. The real test isn't looks anyway, but how it shoots.

I do like your choice of caliber!

Looks like an Enfield to me as well.

Another "vote" for Enfield.

HMMMMMMM!!
The bolt handle, bolt shroud and safety say Weatherby. However the bolt seems "solid", meaning void of "flutes", BUT won't be the first time I'm wrong.

Enfield action no doubt.

Nice Rifle! Whats it weigh and how does it shoot?

Regards,
Dave

Yeah, there's no "button" to open the floor plate and the trigger guard is too thin for a Weatherby.

Look where the ring finger of his left hand is.

Theres the Enfield/Springfield 'bump' and vent hole.

thanks SCR

What a terrible thing to do to a .505 Gibbs. It looks like it should be a 45-70.

Sorry folks!
It is a P14 Enfield action. The Barrel, 25", and action work was done by Bevan King in Ponce Coupe and the stock and finishing works was done by Bills Gunsmith in Burns Lake. Both in BC Canada.

2" groups at 75 yards when I do my job.

I specified a Fiberglass stock as I intend to take off into the bush for Moose and Bear with it. The whole rifle weighs 12 ib's!!

To say that I am happy is an understatement!!

Nice tough looking rifle, great for hard hunting and great chocie of chambering. congratulations !!

That, Sir, is a 'HAMMER'!
Good for you!

What loads are you using?

I like the looks of the bolt!
I'm going to get them on my 14 & 17

Hello,
I would judge the rear micrometer sight is a long slide Redfield?? Perhaps a Lyman 48?? Your rifle follows the time honored design rule, "form follows function..." and that is definitely a "good thing!!"

good looking rig, nice and practical.

you gettign what, 2 down?


nice looking enfield action, though I like the dogleg bolt, good looking syth stoch, and, use for the record, there's a short slide version of that rear sight that doesn't require the stock to be cut so deep.

12# is about right, especially if "classic" loads are a starting point... but with cast bullets at 1800fps, it will be a puppy!!

jeffe

Load is 525 grn Woodleigh on top of 140 grn's of IMR 7828.

I am working on getting some dies for lead bullets!

Norma has load for it in the manual and soon theyre coming out with ammo for it aswell.

Nice looking rifle, but that sweater has go to go!!!!!!!!!
