    .416 Taylor

    Hey guys i thought i would ask some advice here. I have been scouting a beautiful .416 Taylor mauser 98 but im a bit worried about felt recoil and how available brass is. My biggest gun at the moment is a 8x68s propelling a 200 grain bullet at about 900+ m/s and i find it completley fine...

    Tipping Guide

    In Sweden unless on very internationally centered restaurant we generally dont tip much at all. Im in agreement with the poster above, an employer should pay his employees enough that they dont need the tip and the tip is bonus for services beyond just the regular.

    6,5x68s reloading data!

    Got a hold of some RWS factory ammo and using that right now since my local shop didnt have any of the Swift-a frame / partition or similar bullets that will hold up for the velocity. But the real load development will begin Both for my 6,5x68 and my 8x68s during spring to be ready for when...

    Mauser 66

    Hi fellow AH members! I have gotten my eyes up for the mauser 66 and im a bit intrested in Aquiring one. Does anyone here have personal experience with them or maybe even own one? Pictures would be lovely if you own one. If i get one i would like a 375 H&H with an extra barrel in 30-06 or 7x64.

    8x68s

    I think 27 will be well enough considering norma test shoots ammo in 26" inch barrels and its around their ballistic i want to replicate.

    Mystery mauser tell me what i got!

    She still shoots mighty fine. Those shots are after dialing in the sight so i was starting to be a bit sore from shooting it in the bench. Gonna go shoot a real grouping with a proper back and front rest. She seems to like the RWS 127 grains KS.

    Guided hunts/Outfitters in Conneticut

    Hello fellow AH members. Im starting to plan for a visit to the girlfriends relatives next August. They live in Conneticut and i was thinking maybe do a couple of days of hunting while over there. So my question is now is there some guided hunts/outfitters that you guys can recommend?

    6,5x68 Mauser 98

    Im not too worried about the barrel life tbh since this is a pure hunting rifle. Its such a light rifle that it isnt really comfortable shooting loads of rounds down range. Its perfect to carry in the Woods though. Thinking i might get a 375 H&H next and then complement with a range rifle in 6,5x55.

    6,5x68 Mauser 98

    458 winmag sure is a more uncommon sight in order mausers so it might be rebarreld.

    6,5x68 Mauser 98

    Yes pull the back trigger first and you have a hair trigger. Would guess that it breaks at 300grams of pressure, maybe 250.

    6,5x68 Mauser 98

    This is at 100 yards. I usually do it your way it was mounted with colimator and Bore sighted but the day i went with the mauser there was alot of people at the range so all the short range spots for rifles were taken. Therefore i had to start directly at 100 yards therefore it took a few more...

    6,5x68 Mauser 98

    Finally sourced some ammo for my m98 in 6,5x68. She sure is a fantastic rifle. I expected recoil to be a bit harsher since shes a light stalking rifle, though she makes you feel pulling the trigger its acceptable in bench and absolutley find standing. Took 10 rounds of sighting in to get her to...

    I finally did it

    The US army makes a difference between men and women regarding physics tests? In Sweden we take the exakt same tests. Most women get Low scores on the strength tests but is able to score as high as any man on the endurance test.

    The shoulder carry

    I carry over the shoulders when i hunt if i know its going to be a long day and the area is a bit too brushy for slings as i might get stuck in them. Otherwise i use a sling with 2 bands to ease the stress on the shoulder and make it feel more like a backpack.

    NAPHA membership expansion to include recreational hunters or not?

    I would probably either turn it down or create a daughter assosciation for recreational hunters. I think that your organization will not be able to maintain the professional image and it will lose its focus.

    Mystery mauser tell me what i got!

    Went to the gunshop today and got n160 and 100 grain nosler ballistic tips that im gonna try out at first. Gonna buy some 120 grain bullets later on to try but im guessing since its an old rifle it wont stabilize heavy 6,5mm bullets.

    6,5x68s reloading data!

    Im thinking of shooting roe-deer, red deer, fallow deer, maybe some wild boars and such and i need a good stopping bullet. I want a very good energy transfer. Most of the hunting will be Walk and stalk or hide hunting so i prefer if the animal goes down and stays there.
