Ok nice I'll make some myself

Nice! What did you put in the primer hole? Silicon putty?

Gentlemens, behold my magnificent savage, featuring a hand-chekered stock crafted out of high-end turkish walnut, slim, elegant lines More seriously, I always find lightly engraved color-case hardened mausers stunnning pieces of art.

Well happy yours work, I had to send mine to the gunsmith who then f*cked up the headspacing, so I couldn't even chamber a round. I guess the ruger is a very nice rifle tho ;)

Hello and welcome aboard! What model is your savage? I hunt with the axis model in 30-06, it misfires very often and trigger is garbage. Waidmansheil!

Thanks One Day, I did not know that, I thought it started from 4 or 5 times that price - and these are some great looking animals and photos. It still is not something I can afford now but in a few years that would be a great hunting trip :)

Hello, I am from the Oise region, so northern France.

Thank you, yes we hunt doves especially around my uncle's farm, and woodpigeons too, but their presence depends on what grows in the fields, so they are not here every year. Doves are always there tho.

Well that would be great especially as it would be following my grandfather's grandpas steps but budget wise I'll have to work for quite some time to be able to afford it - I still find it very interesting, especially the specific rifles and ammunition for this kind of hunt.

I use my 16 bore SxS shotgun and a 30-06 savage axis (at least when it is not broken)

Thanks you all! This forum is a wealth of knowledge and sure does look dangerous for the integrity of your bank account ;)

How much does a Chapuis X4 cost in the US? In France they go for +-4k and are available in 8x57jrs, 30-06 and 9.3x74r, and they are some sweet looking SxS doubles.

Hello, I am a 17 years old French hunter. I have always been liking hunting, fishing, firearms and outdoors. I hunt boar, hare, nutria (swamp rats) dove and pheasants. I have been binge reading threads on this forum for a while so here am I ;)
