    Default How rare are the original bolt action big bores?

    So this is just a snap survey : has any one seen or know of any original pre ww2.
    .500 Jeffery or Schuler.
    .505 Gibbs
    .416 Rigby
    Personally I know of only a few .505 Gibbs rifles , one in Moz , one in Zim, two in SA and two in the USA!
    I know of about 10 Rigby rifles floating around but No Jeffery or Schuler .
    It would be interesting to find out how many are still alive!

    There is a 505 Gibbs pre World War 2 in Safari and Outdoor store in Pretoria. Other than that I have not seen personally.

    They are not rare, they are just expensive. James Dunlop of African Rifles sells these oldies, cheapies start at 70K
    Don’t take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.
