Solid double square bridge 9.3x62

Just picked up a late 1936 Oberndorf Mauser double sqaure bridge type b,with factory claws and Zeiss. Also has the extra side safety in 9.3x62..here's a few pics

Yep,some were but others weren't, I have a pre war oberndorf non sqaure bridge magnum action type a 280 ross,with a 28 inch barrel,seen a few brit guns on standard mauser actions too.

I always liked the idea of a big game vintage..but i think it should be a single square bridge,with original Mauser flag safety,and a second safety on the side of the rifle or tang, allowing for scope use. And use a Holland and Holland style scope claw mount .Id like a light version of a...

Heres what my son thought of our WR425,best grade circa 1924..

Thanks! i really like how it shoulders,i dont notice the 28 inch barrel, just hope with the next election here in november we dont get a labour govenment,as there already eyeing up the stupid law changes in Aus. Typical is a restriction on the gun numbers you can have.

Well its turned up,a few(crapy phone pics sorry) of it compared to a Oberndorf mag mauser in 280 Ross,28inch barrel,a 375hh circa 1922,best grade and a Sako 85 Safari in 450 Rigby. The WR rifle is a 1924 best grade ...bore is mint

Great rifle! i had a 66 big game in 375,wished i didnt sell it as it handled really well and with scope off was fast to reload.

Thanks everyone for the info, soon as it turns up ill put pics up,looks like an interesting alternative to a 404. Its coming with ammo though ill see if i can order the projectiles and cases as there is an agent here in NZ

Hi,its 28in

Hi just purchased a WR rifle in 425WR, seen a few smaller WR rifles but never a big one. Does any one have any info on these,i think this may be a Colonial version circa 1924. I wont pick it up for a couple of months and the condition is original apart from a stock refinish and a rubber...
