Some of you may remember my film clip of shooting this rifle in the white. Owner put maybe 75 rounds through it working loads, sighting in, etc. while waiting in line to turn over the metal to engraver Sam Welch All ready for "re delivery".., taking the opportunity to share some of Sam's work        | ||

She's a beauty, no doubt about it. Among many attributes, the wood to metal fit is a sight to behold. All the work of a true master. In picture four, what does that engraved oval piece with the well time screws do? | |||

20" barrel? Hits hard at both ends! "Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid" -- Ronald Reagan "Ignorance of The People gives strength to totalitarians." Want to make just about anything work better? Keep the government as far away from it as possible, then step back and behold the wonderment and goodness. | |||

10 1/2 lbs (unloaded)....Does move you around a bit. Point of interest, at least to me. Client is 6ft 200 even Saw him shoot a 500 Jeff I built him, two 5 shot strings, off hand, worked the bolt from the shoulder. cadance was about like a guy shooting a lever gun. At about 40 yds, all shots were in a 4 inch cifrcle. Impressed the s... out of me! | |||

Fantastic Duane. I have to admit if I ordered a .505 Gibbs it probably would not be in a mannlicher stock but I must admit I do like the looks of it. Truly a "one of a kind" rifle! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||
