One thing that has not been mentioned is accuracy, and it may not be of any importance to anyone. But, I can honestly say that in my experience the 9.3x57 is a very accurate cartridge. For many years I had Blaser R8 barrels in 9.3x62 and 9.3x57. I developed multiple loads for both. Two...

I have two drillings. I learnt to shoot with my grandfathers drilling. Both my drillings are 3.2kg and extremely slim. They do not need to be heavy and cumbersome. If I were you I would contact Johann Fanzoi or Karl Hauptmann in Ferlach Austria.

7x64 and 7x65R for me. I have been using both all my life, and still do. If you are going to combine 280 and 280AI, you should also be including the 7x64 and 7x65R in the mix as well. Or maybe have 7x64, 7x65R, and 280 Remington in the same group, and the 280AI by itself.

Hi Keven, my apologies for the delay in this response. I just wanted to let you know that I still have the original owners manual for my 940/770. I think mine had the polygonal barrel the same as your father’s. I had a couple of them over the years. If your father would like an original owners...

Thanks mate, I will try and search for them using your username.

That is good advice. Thankyou..

Yes, the 9.3x74R could do more, but my double regulates perfectly at 2100fps.

Thankyou, very useful information. I have a Merkel double rifle drilling that regulates this bullet extremely well. I am confident taking a shot with this load and reliably placing my shot up to a maximum of 150m. Muzzle velocity is 2100fps 50m 1970fps 100m 1850fps 125m 1800fps 150 1740fps I...

But at what muzzle velocity?

Does anyone have any experience with the Woodleigh 9.3mm 320gr RNSP, in terms of what is the minimum impact velocity before it will fail to expand? Woodleigh quotes a very narrow window of 2000-2200 feet per second. This seems very narrow, and in a real world situation it would not take much to...

It’s nothing to do with the illumination control. The longer rails were originally designed to work with the discontinued blind magazine R8 model. This model has long been discontinued and the longer rails now do not serve a use. All rails now produced will be the shorter rails. I like them, bit...

Yes I have often thought the same myself. I am a left handed shooter in Australia, and the options on Egun are just not available in Australia. I would love to be able to import.

Congratulations, that will be a very special rifle. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to visit and tour two, of the Ferlach craftsmen in 2017, Johann Fanzoj, and Karl Hauptmann. I met the owners of both and spent half a day with them. The standard that the Ferlach gunmakers build to...

I may be wrong, but my understanding was that Noblex is the old Docter Optic company rebranded. I would expect them to be very good. I have been using two Docter three sights for many years without any issues.

That H&K 940 brings back some memories. I had a 940 and a 770 (I think that is correct?. It was the 308 version). Unfortunately in 1996 we had a forced gun buyback and I watched both of them get completely crushed. They were both fantastic rifles. Is that 940 yours? Do you still have the...
