Bolt Action rifles play an important part in every sportsman's battery and we always have a wide selection in production here at the factory and we currently have 23 of this model in production in calibres from .275 - .505 Gibbs. We have 404's, .425's, .318's and some other nice classic calibre's like 500J. It is interesting for me that the 'modern' calibre's are perhaps less popular than the classic, proven ones!

I think the classic cartridges are chosen for a couple reasons: the heritage that goes together with a great English rifle in addition to the accessibility of ammunition. Nothing is more romantic than shooting a WR rifle in a proprietary cartridge or a true African hunting classic like the 375HH. In addition, it’s quite hard to find modern cartridges while in Africa… But, one can generally locate some 375 or 30-06 without a problem. That being said, I’ve taken every plains game animal I’ve hunted with a 7mm Dakota. ;)

Mr. Clode
Is there any guidelines regarding the weight for different calibers that you try to follow?
As for classic cartridges my personal dream battery of rifles has to be a .275 a .375 and a .505 , cartridges that has much more charisma than modern stuff. Regarding scope mounts is there any practical difference between the two types used on the 7mm and the 375.
And once more I have to congratulate you and your team for building the most beautiful rifles that I have ever seen.
Best regards
Peter
