Bolt-Action 500's, who is still producing them today?

Sako 85 Kodiak still a thing?

I want a 500 just to have fun shooting a few times a year and maybe a pig or 2. I really missed out on the affordable ones. I thought it would just be way too much but after shooting 458 I need more!

A CZ or one of those Sakos would have been perfect.

Please keep it in mind. A year & a half wait without word one .. it showed up. (2021)

I am not destitute, yet.

Whether it's a 500 Jeffery, 505 Gibbs or something more obscure in this caliber class, which rifle companies are still producing these rifles today? From my research it's a very small club of the bespoke British makes, especially now with the CZ550 and Sako 85 being discontinued. Other notable makes like Rigby, Mauser & Heym seem to top out with the 0.458's.

1. Jeffery & Co Model 500 (500 Jeffery)
2. Westley Richards Magazine Rifle (505 Gibbs)
3. Holland & Holland Bolt Action Rifle (505 Gibbs)

Any others that I am missing?

George Gibbs still makes the 505 Gibbs bolt action

I’ve owned a Sako 85 in 500J and currently shoot a 500J in my Blaser R8 PH. The Blaser is far superior in every aspect.

@Muskox
To me the Sako is a glorified Tikka just a lot more expensive.

You just can’t accept that won’t chamber them in outdated cartridges like the whelan .
