Model 1917 in 505 Gibbs

[RCS]

Many years ago Maynard Buehler used some very heavy caliber rifles to test his scope mounts,
I found some photos from a 1959 magazine that pictured some of Buehler's test rifles. The Model 1917 is chambered for 505 Gibbs and has been sporterized into a carbine. The other photos shows a 30-06 next to a 505 Gibbs for comparison.
