Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Hope it's Fahrenheit at your place, not Celsius! ;) Florida? .. The mountains are a great place to stay in Summer! You should visit Zugspitze mountain, it's around the corner. Have a good time in Austria, and successful hunt! Try marmot hunting there!

grand veneur, :LOL: I can totally understand YOU, but I have my problems with some of the Austrian dialects myself. Every valley seems to have a different accent. Never met the gunmaker, but I know Ligist, nice place! Hope you had a good hunt and nice time in Uganda! There's a joke: Why do...

I am not an expert hunter on chamois and marmot, but can refer you. You're wecome to ask anytime!

Wow, THAT is a cool mount! Looks very Austrian to me, somehow :)(y) Can you play the horn? I always wanted to learn it.

A thank you to all of you for the warm welcome!

Weidmannsheil zu deinem Grossen Hahn (Auerhahn) Red Leg! Thanks for this great hunting story, the excitement and joy was tangible! Auerhahn/capercaillie is on my to-do-list; a good friend and hunting buddy has the staircase of his house full of capercaillie trophies from his father's and...

Thanks a lot! The one-piece QD base is also Warne? Looks great! I will make sure the glass doesn't bite me :) Thanks for the vid/description also!

I agree. Some of the Ferlach arms are overly intricate and playful, but if the gunsmith's goal was focus on serious use, I think you can find exceptional user value with oldworld build quality. Kind of like highend Spanish guns. I bought a barely used Ugartechea Royal (7pin sidelock with...

Have a new variable Meopta on a 7mmRM which is a good scope and very good value for the money. But the old fixed 8x(50?) on a multipurpose .375 was a no-go for me. It wasn't 4A (which I know and like), it was fine crosshairs (a pain in lowlight) and the set of different height hashmarks for...

The gunsmith put the scope on guesstimate, will open the rings and readjust if necessary. I will have to play with the rifle to get the hang of it; if I cannot get it working to satisfaction for me ergonomically, I'll have it changed, or rebuild the mount if necessary. Would love to try out the...

Hmm, seems they are not so well known as others, I think the build quality can't be the problem. Did you ever export a rifle from US to Europe?

Thanks for your input, this is excellent advice I think! :) <guess I have to start saving money now>

Thank you for your explanation and photos! This looks like a practical workaround for the Rusan mounts; I will consider this if finding problems with the open sighted shooting! And a very nice Swarovski glass!!! :)

WOW! Where is the rifle now, US? How did you like it? How does it shoot? I would have been very tempted to buy it for $6k to be honest..
