Marakai,

Thanks for the link.

500Nitro,

Do you know the weight of your gibbs? Any pictures? How do you find the recoil compared to a 500NE or a 458 WM? What do you generally load it to and what grain bullets?

I agree with everything you said but it just seems like the gibbs can cover anything the Jeffery can do and more. Also there is the rebated rim and short neck which really aren't a big deal but if I am going to build a rifle I might as well go with the Gibbs as it has a few advantages over the Jeff. Does the Jeff have any advantages over the gibbs besides the shorter length and marginally easier to get brass and components? Honestly they are both great rounds and if I saw a Jeffery the way I want it I wouldn't even think twice but because it will most likely be a build I can nit pick the small details.
