A short introduction from Tasmania, Australia. I have recently returned to shooting as a pastime as previously, my work made it very awkward, if not impossible, to hold the necessary licences now required in Australia. I have now retired and taken up target shooting again with both long arms and pistol and I want to get into deer hunting.

To that end I have recently purchased a MS 6.5 x 54 action that I intend to build up into a hunting rifle and while trawling the internet for information I lighted on this site and more specifically, the MS forum. A veritable gold mine of information that led to me joining and hoping to gather the collected wisdom of other members in the future.
 
This place is Dangerous Run!!! You'll be wanting a 4XX then a 5XX and a double and, and and!

LOL - No, I am a coward and don't like pain. Besides I bleed easily. I am still waiting on the paperwork to come through on the action so its sitting down at the dealers but I have had a play with it and very impressed with the smoothness - everything I have read about that has been confirmed.

Welcome Peter to the forum! I had the opportunity 20 years ago to visit Tasmania. I was quite impressed especially by the friendly people! Very enjoyable to sit and chat with.
Enjoy the forum and if you would, share some pictures of your lovely island!

Welcome aboard Peter Lovett. That will be a sweet shooting rifle once you get it built. Who is going to be doing the work on it? There are a lot of Aussies on AH do you know or live near any of them?

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
