Always my favorite single shot actions, I had been looking for a decent .303 for sometime. This one will do until I get the action I am building into a rifle done. Restored in the UK, I will have some clean up to do on the outside of the barrel as it once upon a time wore a scope. Should be a fun one. You hardly ever see a cased Gibbs sporter. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Special rifles to be sure. Very hard to come by. I assume the 215 grain bullets regulate best in rifles from this period? | |||

Wow! Beautiful rifle. IMHO, the classic Gibbs-Farquharson is the highest form of the single shot rifle. Mine is a "resto-mod" in 7x57R (or .275 Flanged, which is what is stamped on the barrel). Here it is in the field. ![]() Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

My little Gibbs showed up and while I do not believe the case is original to the rifle, an added bonus is that it is built on a small action. The rifle weighs 6 lbs. | |||
