I would suggest you contact the German Gun Collectors Association. They have members who are experts on these guns. I've only owned a few, but the early guns like this one are interesting. They usually open with the undercover and allow selecting the rifle barrel with the top lever. The front...

I've been using 5744 for a long time. I started with cast bullets, then later used it for jacketed loads. Be EXTREMELY CAREFUL. You are typically in the 40% of case capacity range. It is easy to get a double charge that you might miss. I charge and seat each cartridge as a single unit. With...

Edit: but not in real big bores. Bfly

I've owned both in 45 caliber and under, but in real big bores. I prefer the OU in a a shotgun and a BBF, and thought I would prefer the same in a rifle. I prefer SS in a rifle. I find I aim better with the OU with the single visible barrel. Second shots don't feel much different to me. But...

Some better photos.

I might be wrong, but I believe Savage makes a 110 in 375 and Mossberg makes a 375 R, Tikka makes 9.3x62's, Zastava makes 9.3's and I think 375's, Blaser makes all kinds, there's Mauser and Sako, and some others in Europe. Weatherby is still around, and I expect we will see some Remingtons...

I would suggest you talk with him about this before you sign up and hand over money. Explain your concern and I'm sure he will explain what drives things. Conversations like that can make a great trip, or cause you to reconsider. You will be spending a lot of your money and living g your...
