[QUOTE="Flintlock, post: 1899258, member: 6546"] Love the grass comment- I wish I had that much in my yard. Just spent a small fortune on a pallet of rolled Bermuda. :) That is a very nice rifle and cool chambering! You can't go wrong with the Ross Break. I have four of them on two Encore pistols and two of them on XP100 pistols. They sure tamed a few of the rounds I have, especially the 300 SAUM in the 15" pistol barrel. I have always thought about the 30 Gibbs after seeing one that my uncle had built back in the 70's for elk and bear in Idaho. He used an old Springfield 06 that had a bad throat. He was a off hand, peep sight kid of guy that hunted the thickest crap you could find and he took a lot of game with that rifle. I'm not sure he every shot it past 100 yards. He said he got the idea from one of his friends that had an old rifle that was chambered in a 30 Caribou , an Ackely round that looks like your except an longer neck from the 06 case. I'm always looking down the road for rifles or pistol in different cartridges. I have several improved Contenders that are just miniature rounds of yours and the short necks shoot fantastic. I have an old Mauser Action that I might just see if my gunsmith could do a budget rifle for in in this caliber. I have 06 brass, some 35 Whelan brass from stuff I used to reload for a buddy. I used to go visit with a guy that owned Mashburn Arms in Oklahoma City years back and he had a few Gibbs rifles in there for sale for clients. You have done well with your build and good luck with your venture to accuracy and hunting with your new rifle. Great job. Mike [/QUOTE]
