[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 1963644, member: 25389"] Still have my dad's 270 Gibbs built on a pre-war Model 70 with a Canjar set trigger. Single hole groups @ 100 yards with 130 gr Sierra bullets. His elk slayer used a 150 gr Herters round nose bullet, not as accurate by layed down too many elk to count. Dad worked with Rocky Gibbs back in the day and provided a conduit to build a variety of "Poor Man's Magnums" in the 1950's for his buddies. 6.5 Gibbs, 270 Gibbs, 30 Gibbs (most popular, many built on 1903 Springfields about $18 through the Civilian Marksmanship Program) and 8mm Gibbs. When Remington introduced the 7mm Mag and Winchester introduced the 264 Win Mag and 300 Win Mag in the early 60's, the Gibbs option faded. Great rounds! All of them. [/QUOTE]
