Good deal for somebody, especially considering the ammo and components that are included. If somebody wants in the 404J game this is a great opportunity. GLWS

Good deal should go quickly

I didn't know Les built his own actions. He was a great guy.

I bought a similar action from Dave. It’s amazingly smooth.
That stock looks like an elephant hide

What a deal, on one of the best actions ever made.

Original Bauska Actions were hand-made in Kalispell, MT. My 505 Gibbs made 1965 and stocked by Dennis Olson same time. Everything on the barrel is integral except the sight inserts. It's one of my smoothest rifles. Holds 3 + 1.

Dad and a coworker sporterized this Springfield in the fab shop at Hungry Horse Dam circa 1962. My horse and I had an argument near Scott Lake in 1981 and we rolled down the mountain breaking the original Herter's stock in two. Dad took me in to Kalispell to Les's shop and he made me a deal on this stock. Twenty-five bucks but only on condition that I tell him the story of surviving hypothermia in October '71. He'd heard about it from another of dad's coworkers. Quite the story. Not sure if Les made this stock or ordered it. I can see his smiling face and sparkling eyes like he was standing here now. I learned last summer that at one time Dennis Olsen worked for the same logging company as Dad's catskinner neighbor. He put the 404 barrel on my 98 Mauser.

I know my Bauska .505 Gibbs action is as smooth as any fine European magazine rifle that I have cycled. Especially the upwards motion to unlock the bolt. That .404 is a great deal and opportunity for someone.

Is the barrel by Buhmiller? I seem to recall most of the guns built in the Valley in those days had his barrels. He lived in Whitefish.

If Les built the rifle it is most likely he actually built the barrel in his shop. That is how he rolled.

@AZDAVE if you were selling that when i was looking at that 500j that you helped me with I would have taken that in a heartbeat. GLWS bro

 

[AZDAVE]

@norfolk shooter Thank you for looking I just decided to put it up for sale along with a few others after a detailed look at what I have planned for the next 5 years. Have a couple projects in mind that sales would help fund.

I just shot my .505 Gibbs this afternoon that I bought from Dave. with the same action. Dave’s deals give a lot of value. Mine was dialed in and ready to go. That’s a lot of time money. He undersells and over delivers.

The 505 is truly an amazing cal and Im glad to say I can say I have one in the safe. I love the thing.

@AZDAVE is an absolute gent and will help you if he can. The new owner wont be let down

 

[Altitude sickness]

I’m surprised that with $2000 worth of ammo and hard to find components this rifle is still sitting. If Dave says it’s accurate that says a lot.

 

[norfolk shooter]

What is this still doing for sale??

 

[AZDAVE]

Rifle is SPF.

I'm sure you'll be sad to see it go. Hang in there.
