When I had spoke with Triple River, "I couldn't Recall her name, as I didn't note it" However, Yes she explained they'll cont. to "build to spec. for an individual & for CZ", as CZ discontinued the .50's essentially. Nothing Czech built, so anything surfacing a dealer may find, is it "Classics" of course. The 505 Gibbs are gone, as the dealer can still get the 500 Jefferey last I checked. … At this point, I'd prefer Triple River build to spec.
A short Barrell 500 Jefferey sounds even better!
If anyone's willing to entertain the pivotal question, again as this is how I found the thread! 505 vs 500 Jefferey. The dealer tracked the 500 Classic, and I backed off due to the countless threads of the cycling issues with the 500 Jefferey in CZ. "You can clearly see a group on YouTube, sporting this rifle for fun, feedback, etc. In the video, I noticed a cartridge flying out of the action as he recycles the bolt for his next shot!
I'm partial and more interested in the 505 Gibbs, "enthusiast & functional standpoint" as I have a couple boxes of 600 grn WDL. As I looked at the ballistics of both, I noticed the 500 Jefferey can get into the 8000 plus ft/lbs of energy loaded respectively, which got my attention!
Can a 505 Gibbs be loaded to produce that much Energy? And ...
From a general Standpoint, "Factory 505 600 grn, or Norma 500 Jefferey 575 grn," … Does anyone notice a difference in Felt Recoil.
As erroneous this sounds … I'm searching for whichever produces the most Recoil!
