I have a .30 Gibbs that is fast becoming my favorite rifle if I have to walk much.

Pushes the 165 NAB accurately in the 2950-3000 fps range with a 22" barrel and H4350. Staball 6.5 will push it even faster but I got poor accuracy. It is all ballistic nonsense as there is very few scenarios where the extra 100-150 fps makes any difference but it is fun to shoot something different.


Aint a thang wrong with the Improved or the Gibbs.
