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

Wood...Bastogne
Green Mountain Arms Action
Krieger Barrel 24"
Gun weight 11.0 lbs
LOP 14.5"s
Sights filed in for 525gr CEB Solid 2300fps
`
The begining


First cuts




Sorry I seem unable to take successful full length pictures



Way way too big.
