I don't know the weight of the Gibbs as I have had it restocked
so as not to break the original stock when hunting. It does get
a bit heavy at the end of the day.

Recoil - alot of it depends on how the gun is built - balance, stock design
etc. I have fired about 5 - 6 500 Jeffrey's, some are bitches to shoot, some
great - great as in little felt recoil.

Ask Marrakai - he fired the 505 Gibbs and it nearly knocked him over
as he was standing on rocks that sloped slightly backwards !!!

Rebated rim is not a problem if you build the gun correctly.
The short neck is not a problem either.

The only reason to go Jeff over Gibbs is the SLIGHTLY easier
brass and wider bullet selection - although this is not as much
an issue now as before.

Personally, I think people look into things too much and in the end
confuse themselves by trying to get perfection.

Go with what you like.
