Kutenay, I have shot a few of Mr. Gibeault's rifles !
He was a good friend of my father's.
Old Badger bought one of his rifles from paul reibin a few years back, wonderful shooter.
For those not " in the know"
Joe Gibeault built up Long Branch Enfields, rebarreling them and chambering them in.308 winchester, with custom stocks.
The things are lasers when used with a Palma bullet and iron sights.
Long range?
Here's a pic of what 600+yards looks like .
I'm shooting at a 1' rock across the river, on the bare spot directly above my line of sight.
The rock was split with 5 shots and 5 hits with a Sportco M44 in 308 Winchester shooting prone with iron sights and sling.
