505 Gibbs

Some where along the line I fell in love with the 505 Gibbs. The clean lines of an un-scoped big bore rifle and a bore diameter that will quicken your pulse and swallow your dreams.
After my last Safari five years ago I decided to put one together for my next hunt this August a Buffalo and Tuskless affair. Good Friend and local gunsmith agreed to take on the project.
Here are a few pictures of the journey
