Good cartridge, the .264 Win Mag. Like any chambering, you rarely need to use the heaviest charge of the slowest possible propellant in order to develop a useful hunting load. I know another guy here in NZ who has been using his Model 70 for decades. He just loves it.

Just remember that ... the 7mmSTW is rather noisy. I remember being 30 odd metres away from the mound when someone was firing his brand new toy. It was like being next to an old acquaintance when he was firing his .264 Win Mag with muzzle brake.

W The daughter should be practised enough by then … to pick up on all your bad habits and start coaching you!

Yes, I learned the hard way:D!

Get the gear for what you have. It is a pain to be waiting months for essential components so that you can shoot a newly purchased rifle. Never again for me!

If the action and barrel are good to go, that would be a nice rifle.

Warne works well on ZG 47. The same ring-mounts and 2-piece bases work on: post-WW2 Model 21/22, ZG 47, all ZKK models and CZ550. One piece bases work on Model 21/22, ZG 47, ZKK 600, etcetera. Picatinny bases are a separate story.

Nice piece of kit and ... who said wall guns were history:A Banana::D Beers:?

Rechambering one of those rifles to 9.3x62 is a bad idea because it then becomes unpleasant to shoot. I advised another hunter not to do it and later heard that he—and his shoulder—regretted the decision. The groove diameter of the barrel should be greater than the bullet diameter. Every ‘.308’...

I only came across it about seven years back, either reading or watching something to do with air rifles.

You can get pretty close by putting the scope against a mirror, looking through the ocular and moving the adjustments until the reticle lines up with its reflection. Any sighting telescope made in the last 40 years should be bright enough to use this method.

How was your shoulder?

As I was taught in the Army, ‘practice makes permanent BUT it has to be the right kind of practice’.

I suggest that you Google Interarms. Quite an interesting story. Compares well with Bannerman.
