Help with caliber choice
      19/03/06 03:01 PM

So I want to have a custom bolt rifle built. It will be a bigbore for Africa and I want to keep it as classic as possible. The cartridges I have cut the list down to at the moment are the 416 Rigby, 500 Jeff and 505 Gibbs. What do you guys think? The rifle will be my primary big bore bolt rifle and will see most of its use in Africa.

I guess I am asking about people experiences with the different rounds. What are the differences between the 500 and the 505? Any suggestions or experiences would be appreciated. I have not decided if I want to go with a big bore (416) or a BIG BORE (500,505) so any advice welcomed.

It will be your standard African rifle in Wood and Blue. Thanks in advance.
