    .30-06 vs .375 H&H Magnum

    I hunt everything with my .375!

    .30-06 vs .375 H&H Magnum

    I might be biased by the fact that I live in Limpopo, you can’t see further than an ‘06 can reach here!

    .30-06 vs .375 H&H Magnum

    It’s all you need! I also have a 223 (black gun) and 7x57 but that’s just because I do want a .458 Lott in CZ 550 though…

    I have a .375 and a .308, still dreaming of an ‘06.

    Help with antique rifle, possibly a Mauser?

    The aim point is an interesting idea as I will be using this gun in thick bush anyway.

    Help with antique rifle, possibly a Mauser?

    The butter knife bolt handle enables ooperation with a mounted scope. Thanks for the tip, I will contact them.

    I wish I could but my old eyes prefer glass!

    Help with antique rifle, possibly a Mauser?

    Unfortunately! But in South Africa Formalito (the local importer) and quite a few gunshops still have stock. Hence my desire to purchase another one or two before they dry up for good. I own CZ 550 rifles in .308 and .375 H&H and plan on one day leaving them to my son.

    Help with antique rifle, possibly a Mauser?

    Help with antique rifle, possibly a Mauser?

    Thanks Red Leg. This is what I was looking for and has inspired me to do the restoration. I will have the rifle rust blued and a more elegant scope mount fitted.

    I will look up Enfield style Mausers, thanks!

    Help with antique rifle, possibly a Mauser?

    Thanks. I will probably just put a Boyds stock on then. The current stock is optimised for irons shooting and doesn’t fit me well with a scope.

    Help with antique rifle, possibly a Mauser?

    Hi everyone, I have inherited an old rifle and it is almost time for me to renew the firearm license. It is a rifle I don't use at all and so was considering selling it. But as it has been in my family for a very long time, it was brought to South Africa from Germany before the Second World...

    In between hunts

    Great thread idea Kevin. I hunt once or twice a year and spend my down time on birding trips to the Kruger National Park (I only live an hour away). I also take part in our monthly CHASA shoots and every competition I can. Not only do I love shooting but competitive shooting sharpens the...
