My “wife”accounted for a beauty of a buff this past spring in the NT Happy hunting Lads <*{{{~<

Thats great news Sir Thats why these forums are helpful. Nice target similar to mine now @80 meters

Hi Tiger It can be challenging for us double folks here in Aus, however if you are keen and are prepared to wait for some then they do pop up every now and then, I think there is a 3-barrel 470/9.3/12gg combination that may be available however I don't have a price. Thanks Nembwe <*{{{--<

Hi JCE Very nice upgrade, all the best and please post pictures of teh new calibre in action Sir. Thanks Nembwe <*{{{--<

Thanks for the compliment. Yes indeed TIntin it's what we love to do hunt those creatures the Lord has given us to fulfill our hearts desires. Thanks Nembwe <*{{{--<

Hi Toby Yes I believe the 9.3's are very underestimated and with a good shot placement they can have the desired effect on most animals within reason, on the Buff here in Australia they are more than adequate if you can get close, he he. Thanks Nembwe <*{{{--<

Hi Pondoro Sorry for the late reply I just got back online and had so many things on. I used 285gr soft nose we load them at around the 2180-2200fps. I am looking to go up to the 300gr but till working on some loads and then even some 270gr for the piggies but having a sxs and trying to get...

Hello fellow AH followers. I together with two friends were able to get up into the Northern Territory onto a station where I do some pasture and grazing work, we were able to assist the local farmers with feral pig population control that number into the thousands, not as bad a FNQ just yet...

They are red billed quelea, Quelea quelea def not sandgrouse Sir :giggle: Having farmed in Africa these are very common over fields of wheat and other grains and can number in their millions. They cause huge crop damages and deplete many crops across Southern Africa. you tube : flock of red...

Great looking bulls there Sir. i am off next week, hopefully chasing another NT buff. N <*{///}>{

If it is less than 37” do you get discount such as this bull :-)

Indeed! It is like a buffalo pat and spoor early on a crisp july morning, with the combretum leaves, moist from the morning dew softening the crunch under foot, as your heart rate starts to lift and your senses highten only for you tracker to say “godala” old! So much expectation only to be...

Hi Aus Hunter, I have been utilizing various rounds, the K gun has regulated so well with two sets of rounds one is the PPU's <1" at 75meters and the other is hand loads of Bertram actually 285's over 54g AR2209, and not 286g, I can get them to 1-2" at 75met , but for some reason she love the...

Fantastic bulls Sir… well done. I cant compete with the trophy Bulls however a different set of horns showing just how good yours are. once again Great trophies. NT bull 9.3x74R double 286gr. 2250fps. Well done once again.

Dark Continent = Racism what rubbish… Strange how “visiting” folks (not all folks) but maybe some “bwanas” to our Dark Continent have so much criticism, yet the folks that have lived and survived here, and still live and survive here for a few generations don’t see what the visitors do. Only...

No sir dont know the twist. Will try get a few through the crono in two weeks hopefully.

Hi TroyF Not to sure at this stage but they are very similar to the 6.5x54ms I am hoping to get 2400fps with 138-142g all depending on the regulation loads. N

Wow that is amazing craftmanship right there....:oops::oops::sick: As I said size is relative... but HMR17..... amazing. N

It finally arrived, the baby brother to my K 93.74R It is a wonderful 6.5x53R sxs. many thanks to the gents on the site (They shall remain anon:giggle::giggle:)for the assistance and help when this rifle came across my path. A question I have for all the DR owners is: What is the smallest DR...

Hi HH Thanks for the input, the rifle has been purchased and I will forward some better pictures once it is in my hands. My rifle does not look like that one wow its must be 100+ years old. @rookhawk @VertigoBE @Sarg Many thanks to you all for the contribution, I will have a update as soon...

Thanks again Gents I have another picture with a slightly better quality and it would seem that the symbols are a bit clearer. Any thoughts on the year and I see the name Mr R. BLINDEE could this be the person for whom the rifle was made ?? Thanks again

Good day Gents I was able to go and take a look and feel the 6.5mm x 54 Double rifle and it was really in good shape, the entire mechanism opened and closed tight with little to no movement, barrels looks very clean. safety catch and opening lever worked a treat, a very clean rifle indeed...

@Sarg yes Sir in Perth. Owner says he shoots 2” with the 129g ??? @alby yip thats the one I am going to look at next week. @rookhawk Sir you are a wealth of knowledge and this site is priveluged to have you Many thanks for your contributions.

Rookhawk it is a 6.5x53r - Close to .264mm hope this helps. thanks again to all for the wisdom shared. N

Not sure about the lockup Vertigo I should handle the rifle this coming week and give it a through feel and testing. will let all know with some feed back. Would one be safe to say mid 1940-1950?? By the engraving etc?? it shoots modern powder and projectiles to 1,5-1,8” grouping with...

I can access that link you mentioned. I will keep trying. there doesn’t seem to be many 6mm doubles made, well not many these days anyway. 7mm seems to be the smallest doubles around?? thanks again N

Thank you Sir. yes I also found those sites. Mainly known for the shotguns and not to many rifles. The one I am looking at is a 6.5mm double. thanks again N

Good day all DR legends. does anyone on AH have any experience and or know of this DR manufacture Raick Freres” and “Liege, Belgium”. I realise it is a old company but was wanting some additional information. Such as are they still around what quality did they produce etc etc. thanks all

Thank you so much for the info much appreciated, I am waiting on a response from Krieghoff, but as always the AH folks are eager and willing to share. :giggle:(y) Nembwe

Sorry All I forgot to mention the Calibre 9.3x74R.

Good day All Can anyone assist me with where I can find a explosion of a Krieghoff Classic Rifle?? I can find the trigger mechanism but not the entire stock and barrel connection diagram. I believe ( seeing another rifle) there should be a small flat top screw in place ( I haven't found it any...

Many thanks OP It would seem they would then cross at 10-20 meters ? Right How much do I need to counter screw the reg screw to get them to “uncross” how sensitive is that reg screw?? thanks again Sir

Good day all Double Rifle shooters, I have recently acquired a great K-9.3x74R in excellent condition and was able to get to the range for the first time, it was told to me that the rifle was regulated with 286gr, I wasn't able to get 286gr but was able to get the next best 285gr. I started...

It has to be one of the tightest “scrum caps” I have seen to come out of the Matestsi region in Zimbabwe.

Good day all I just had to crash this party with one of the best Buff trophies ever

Thanks Cal Sounds about right.

Thanks Red Leg, info much appreciated.

Thanks Tanks I will attempt to change things- (scope) that was one option, glad to hear that you were able to get a decent set at 200, I will endeavor to keep going to get the best results. Thank you

Hello All Double fellows. I have a question for the educated and experienced folks on this site, I have a double Krieghoff 9.3x74r and while I was looking for an additional set of barrels to add to the firearm, I was hoping for a 7x54 set of barrels, this has however proved to be very expensive...
