I have a Lyman 100year Centennial Commemorative Ruger #1 in 45-70 in a very nice original display case. The rifle is engraved on both sides and the package dates back to 1981 and includes all of the original items including the 4x Lyman Century scope and mounts, bullet molds, brass, dies and so...

That Dakota is about as handsome a bolt gun as I've seen in awhile. Very nice!

I've been looking for a good 375 HH or 378 Wby. This one was working me pretty hard. Very nice rifle.

Thank goodness....:D

Have recently begun reloading for a 505 Gibbs and was looking for guidance on whether cast bullets are "better" than jacketed? That is, are they more accurate, easier on the barrel, etc? With regards to recreational shooting. I'm ok with opinions, of course, but would very much welcome and...

I haven't found the rifle yet..... If you were interested in a trade to long range or benchrest shooting components (while you were taking a break from Africa), I probably have a couple of hundred of everything that is available today. Michael

And the intermediate conclusion is that I'm no closer than I was before....except for having eliminated a few options. For those of you who know...What does it take, in general, to buy a used CZ? And are they good "working" rifles? I dont require London presentation, but would expect...

So, I called SSK yesterday. It is correct that they will build a 505 on the Ruger RSM, however, he said that he only recomends it as a toy and not a serious hunting rifle. Said that there are feeding and ramp issues that cannot be fully resolved. He said that as a hobby rifle, it would be...

Thank you, Sir. I will give them a call tomorrow. Michael

I've read on more than a few threads now where guys are referring to having a 505 Gibbs on the Ruger RSM. Can someone share with me the name of the builder (s) doing this work? Thank you Michael

So, is there no one willing to trade the entire lot for 10 pieces of 505 Gibbs brass? I would have thought the box of 5 factory loaded Westley Richards would be worth that.

I thought recoil was "all in your head";) Kidding aside, since i was very young, ive not owned too many long guns that didn't kick like a young mule. The 500 A-Square still stands out in my mind, as did the 550gr buffalo bullets in the Farmingdale 50-140 Sharps with the crescent steel...

I would be willing to trade the lot for 505 Gibbs brass.

She's ok with it. She's a very good girl that way. Once I find a Gibbs, she'll probably buy me another. Top of the line, that one is.

Actually they were a gift from my wife. Years ago she bought me a leather ammo wallet with "470 Nitro Express" on it. She ordered these to go in it.

My mistake, I didn't realize that someone had posted a question. Yes, the Westley Richards are factory loaded rounds (x5).

Yeah. I grew up reading all of John Taylor's books. Had a custom 460 G&A #2 in my early teens. Ever since, been hoping to come across a good used 505. Hasn't happened yet. Although, at the same time, I am also aware of the reality that I'm unlikely to put $5k or more in a rifle again. My...

Thats a valid question, Sir, and should warrant a simple response of, Yes, of course. However, for me, it would not. I've wanted a 505 for as long as I can remember, certainly well back into the mid 80's. I have owned several "economic substitutes" along the way. Many of which were very solid...

Newly reformed.....and fully delivered, but only from the "BR" part, not the 1,000 yard part. That one's in there pretty deep.

Are either of these two for sale, and actively seeking a new home in central KY? To be properly cared for and fed by a newly reformed 1,000 yard benchrest shooter?

Wow. That's bad news. Their website suggests a pretty good product (of course). Suppose I will look elsewhere.... I wonder if this is the same company/people as the Montana Rifleman? Thank you for the feedback. Michael

Are they all gone?

As the title says, I am interested in finding a used bolt gun chambered in 505 Gibbs. Specifically, I am looking for a "working gun" moreso than a showpiece, or collector's piece. I intend to shoot it, regularly. Thank you, in advance, for looking. Please PM offers Michael

I also looked at the Montana offering. I'm not at all familiar with their action but it looked to be very reasonably priced. It's a shame that Ruger didn't offer it in their safari bolt gun. That was a very handsome crossbolt rifle.

I guess the #1 is probably my favorite rifle. I have owned them in 416 Rigby, 470 NE, 375 HH, 300 Wby and 50-140 (500 NE). I really wanted to find a Gibbs in a bolt gun though.

Color case hardening, done correctly, is a sight to behold. I would like very much to see the pics when finished. Since you brought it up, what price range is this running?

Thank you for the feedback, guys, I do appreciate it. I was thinking that I would like to find something with a quarter rib and barrel band, similar to the #1 Tropical. Michael

If someone wanted to buy a 505 Gibbs in a bolt action, what are the options available other than CZ? Thank you Michael

So, this is clearly not progressing. How about this, if anyone has any interest in these components, feel free to make an offer. I'm honestly just trying to get rid of them. All of the components are good quality and in good condition. If you're concerned about my presence on this site, I'll...

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it. Michael

I would need to check into it but I'm not familiar with the regulations regarding shipping of loaded ammunition. I assumed that I would just pull the bullets and ship the components. If the price is off, feel free to make me an offer. I no longer own a 470 and so was just trying to move...

To be honest, no real reason. So, I had done a fair amount of shooting with a 50-140 Sharps (essentially a 500 NE) and decided that I'd like to have a 470. I had a company out in MT build me one on a Ruger #1 platform. The rifle shot the very best but, at just over 9lb, the recoil was...

Good morning, All. I really thought this stuff would have sold very quickly. Am I off on the price or something?

Thank you, Sir.

Also have these Westley Richards 470 NE 500gr Solids $50

Also, the brass is currently loaded with 500gr Barnes Solids and Woodleigh RN. I will pull these before shipping but can sell them as is if meeting face to face (central KY).

Thank you, Sir

Thank you, Sir

While I am new to this forum, I am well known on **NOT**PERMITTED**.com and have many transactions, all with positive feedback. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you Michael

Copying the text from my **NOT**PERMITTED**.com post does not appear to be working correctly. In any case, I previously owned a 470 NE. I am in the process of cleaning out my reloading room and have the following items for sale:

I am new to this website, but not to big bore rifles. Someone from my home forum, recommended that I post here.
