Hey Guys in the "Wrong Hand" forum!
My wrong handed buddy Dhufish asked that I help him post photos of his 505 in "wrong hand" for you. Along with a couple of other Wrong handed rifles.
I must let him take it from here. So here goes!
Black Rifles!! Left handed T2K in 6xc, And Mak.Remington 700 In 7mm/08(
Long range shooters,
My Dakota .375 Ruger and my .505 Gibbs Both by stockmaker Ross Waghorn
My ''Heavy Hitters'' .470 Double and .505 Gibbs
Hello Michael, My .505 Gibbs is finally finished, Left handed Granite
Mountain action, Aussie made M.A.B. barrel, Ross Waghorn Stock made from
Aussie walnut from Rodger Vardie and gunsmithing by Tony Argent (M.A.B.
barrels) and finished off by Bob De Vries (Kudu Services) It is a bit larger
than your compact Magnums but I like it that way, I wonder if you could post
it for me on the ''Lefties'' Forum ? maybe also the ''Big Bores'' . I still
don't know how to do that (It must be an ''Age ''thing,( I am still cool
with side valve engines)I will send you more photo's but One at a time.Best
regards, Hope you like it.(Dhufish)

Yes, thanks for the reminder! I have some info that Dhufish sent with the photos, I will paste and copy here. I am sorry, I got caught up and busy, and forgot to post this.
I will edit the prior post and try and put the comments in the proper order!

GeorgeSThanks, Michael.
I am intrigued by the bolt-action "ARs". It's a great way to get around local assault weapons bans.

MikeBurkeGeorge,
The bottom "bolt action" AR is Tubbs rifle.
Gary Elesio sells a kit that is very similar that uses a 700 receiver and is way less expensive.
http://www.competitionshootingstuff.com/I bought the kit but have not built the rifle. It is very nice.
10 August 2010, 19:32
MikeBurkeThose are some very nice firearms. It is a collection to be proud of.

michael458George
Very welcome, no problems. I did not even notice the ARs were bolt guns! Been in a damn rush this morning!
Mike and Dhufish
Hey, any of those rifles say "Winchester" on them anywhere? If not, scratch a big "W" on them, then I can say they are nice too!
Good to go!

I have to let Dhufish answer your questions on particulars on the rifle, but he is Aussie, and I can tell you this, there is some real serious shooting one can do in Australia, it's becoming my favorite shooting place quickly!

dhufishYeah! Thanks to Michael .458 for posting the pic's for me,the ''Black'' rifles are used regularly at our Rifle Club, The Tubb for 500 metre ''Fly'' comps. and the little Remington for Metallic Silhouette, both are sweeties. The .505 Gibbs was built in OZ.by aussie gunsmiths and shoots very well. The muzzle brake takes the sting out of her and it is quite impressive to shoot (I am 70 years old , so the boys softened her up a bit for me) I load 120 grains of A.D.I.2213 sc , which duplicates the old cordite load, I can go to 135 grains to get about 2400 fps with the 535 gn Woodleigh and the same for the 600 grainers. I have shot some in Africa but only with my .338 win for plains game , and with my Dakota .375 Ruger for Capr Buff and Eland. Michael .458 posted some photo's for me in an earlier thread of those animals when the .375 Ruger was being discussed.Anyhow , Any more info required , just ask. Cheers ,,

derf9.3If you do not mind, what was the price of the granite mountain action? Also what a beautiful rifle.
03 November 2010, 09:47
dhufishHi Derf9.3, The GMA action was part of a composite ''Deal' but is the only one that I know of in Australia. I enquired about it from Mr.Broden at G M A in the U.S.A. at the time and one similar With a Barrel was about $1800 U.S.D. Mine worked out to about double that in Australia,But it was the only one I had ever seen.By the time you go through all the B.S. to get another one ,I am happy with that one at that price.I have been shooting it quite a bit now , and it shoots as good as it looks. I have some photo's of me shooting it ,but as I still do not know how to post them,(It's an ''Age'' thing ) I will send them to Michael and maybe he will post them for me as previous. Regards.
