Thanks thats great news. Waiting for my custom 7x57 build on FN Mauser, Leica ER waiting in the cupboard. Figure I'll go for medium rings for proper clearance

Not having problems with the bolt handle and eyepiece on the Leica?? BEAUTIFUL rifle

This right here is my favorite new hobby!

In my case it depends on the specific rifle, terrain and situation. To be honest I switch around all the time, probably not ideal but muzzle control always in mind. I've got good slings, and other average ones that I use less often. Different rifles just carry better in different positions in...

Got my hands on some 156gr norma oryx Can't wait to work up some loads and see what they do out of the swede.

With 140gr Gamekings I get 2650fps out of a 20" barrel. Can push it up to 2700, but its my sons hunting rifle and no need for that.

All good choices, probably depends on where in SA you're going. Limpopo - 375, Eastern cape - 300 wm 30.06 good all rounder Also look into 7x57 and 9.3x62 - Africa classics Think of what you will use rifle for afterwards, and availability of components in your area. The 308 win will be...

Grew up on a farm but my father never hunted, or took us hunting really. Shot the odd wild animal on the farm, but didn't get into it till I nearly turned 30. Think my son's story will be a bit different , got his first buck this year turning 8.

Yes I did, had two discussions with the store clerk. He cleaned and inspected the bore, no pitting and all seems good. Apparently it didn't work too much, I would want to use it as my go-to hunting rifle for plains game

Unfortunately no further photos but I can ask the seller. Apparently the bore is still good and the rifle has not worked much. I can buy it for the price of lets say a CZ550, I am thinking this will be a bit more special and in a caliber that I want.

Hi all. I need some help from you gentlemen: I am seriously looking at buying this rifle, I have researched the internet all over but cannot pinpoint exactly what it is. I cannot inspect the rifle since it is 600km from me, but have a few pictures. Any and all info will be greatly appreciated.

Must add that he started with the daisy, and bought him a .22 to practice but waiting for license eish

My 8yo boy started hunting with a 6.5x55, very good caliber choice and in the right rifle it can last him long. Got my hands on a Savage 99 lever action in 250-3000, hope he can also hunt with that going forward. Will be cool for him and me

.22lr best option, agree with CZ
