Hello,
I would like to build a large caliber rifle, and I have several ideas for calibers, and one of them is the .505 Gibbs. I handload so making lighter kicking loads should not be a problem, but I need to find an action that will work. I was hoping to spend as little as possible on the action, which is why I like the CZ-550 Magnum. Do you think I could buy a CZ-550 magnum action, a .505 gibbs barrel, have a gunsmith put the barrel on, then safely use the gun? Or does CZ use a different action for their .505 Gibbs rifles?
Thanks,
John
