Blaser 505 Gibbs

R8 is produced by Blaser in 500 Jeffery but not 505 Gibbs. Not sure any of the bolt heads are big enough to handle the Gibbs even if a custom barrel was made. I believe the largest is for 338 lapua which is based off the 416 Rigby case.
 
505 gibbs is a very impressive cartridge. Not too bad to shoot. The looks of it gets your attention.

They are supposed to be delivered this afternoon - Jeff>

.590 is as big as I have seen for the R8 (338LM) 505 is .640.
 
I don’t recall any R8’s in the Gibbs primarily because the bolt system is too small . They have opted for the smaller yet marginally more powerful Jeff500.
 
No. The action isn’t big enough.
