Austria Hunting Pictures

[AZDAVE]

Nice trophy's, love the hammer break action rifle the best of those pictured. The pictures of the mountains brought back some nice memories of hikes in Austria and Germany in the 80's-90's when I was stationed there.

Red Legs "Stutzen" looks like an early Model 1903, a 6,5x57 magazine will not fit, because the action is to short.

The only straight way is to rebarrel it to 6,5x54 MS.

The original barrel is gone already.... so nothing is destroyed that isn't anyways.

This is the perfect reason to visit Ferlach, one of the most dangerous places for gun freaks....

They eat credit cards for breakfast....

My credit card was screaming and going crazy when I first started reading the OP.

Now I know why,...the last 2 lines of your thread.

Can a credit card have a heart attack or stroke?, ... mine just quit screaming No!..No!..No More!.. and throwing a tantrum...it's just laying there, silent and still.

I posted this in my hunting report, but you have given me the opportunity to do so again. My Einmal im Leben Kärntner Alpen Auerhahn. A beautiful hunt, magnificent game animal, in one of the loveliest corners of the planet.

I have been hoping you would revive this thread as the scenery is so beautiful. I really like that custom stock on your 1903! I bet it handles great without a scope.

Very nice pictures, and a good topic. I am in Austria as a Gastarbeiter and I have also been thinking about buying Mannlicher-Schönauer and Gamsjagd for a long time. Maybe someday, then I'll add photos

Waidmannsdank! Shotgun at first light after an interesting stalk.

AUSTRIA: Stalking Europe's Big Bird - Hunting The Capercaillie (Auerhahn) In The Austrian Alps

This hunt truly begins in the early spring of 1977. A small group of friends stationed in Northern Bavaria decided to take two-days leave in conjunction with a weekend and head off to Kitzbuhel, Austria for four days of skiing before a pending summer training deployment to Grafenwöhr. Sometime...

The stock was the journeymans piece of a young lady to become a stockmaker.

What gun was used ?

 

[Altitude sickness]

HWL, the pictures are amazing thanks for posting. The game, the rifle and scenery make a post card scene. “This is the perfect reason to visit Ferlach, one of the most dangerous places for gun freaks...”
I just purchased a Johan Franzoj double rifle in 9,3x74 on this forum.

Looking forward to receiving and shooting it soon.

Red Legs, thank you for Re Posting your hunt. What a trip.
