The Model 1917 is a very strong action and was used for many years with large caliber
cartridges and wildcats. During the post WW2 period and into the 70's Maynard Buehler
manufactured custom parts for Mausers and 1903/1917 rifles. Buehler was well known
for having the best scope mounts. In different ads mostly for the American Rifleman,
Buehler would show how he tested his different scope mounts and that despite the very
heavy recoil, his mounts always held their zero. One of his favorite test rifles was a custom
1917 in 505 Gibbs with an 18 inch barrel. Photo shows a 30-06 next to a 505 Gibbs
