My Musgrave M90 in 30.06

[littlebear]

I had a trip to the range yesterday with my Musgrave M90 after the rifle had been serviced and scopes fitted. It's a really nice rifle to shoot with.

Can you give an in-depth review of your Musgrave rifle? I bet there are lots of guys on the form that would love to hear more about it. I don't own one, but I've been to the Musgrave factory in South Africa...great guys....in addition to their own action design Musgrave can build a custom rifle on surplus 98 actions (German, Argentine, etc) it has in stock.

A Musgrave m90 is a solid and relatively heavy rifle, without bells and whistles. In other words, it is first and foremost a tool for a hunter. You can say that it is a clone between a Mauser 98, Winchester M70 and an old Carl Gustav. Due to the high weight of the rifle, it handles the recoil quite well.

A few years ago I saw on a gun dealer's website that he had an older used rifle for sale under the name Mauser, but I could see right away that it was not a Mauser but a Musgrave M90. I then wrote to the dealer who lived at the other end of Denmark, and said I would like to buy it, and got it for 235 dollars. In Denmark, it can take up to 6 months to get your weapons permit, and when it arrived, I called the dealer and arranged for a transport. When the rifle arrived I was very excited about what I had bought, because I had not had one in my hands, and I had bought it because I saw that it was a rifle which was very difficult to get hold of here in Denmark. I also found that there were not very many of this type of rifle for sale in the Northern Hemisphere and that it was difficult to find information about it on the Internet.

littlebear, I'm curious, what does your Musgrave M90 weigh?

littlebear, I'm curious, what does your Musgrave M90 weigh?

@7x57 - I would say that: Mugrave M90 (4510 g) translate to Mugrave M90 (9.94 lb).

 

[littlebear]

9.94 lb with scope and rings

Congrats! My first trip to Africa was with a loaner Musgrave in -06, I fell in love with the rifle.

9.94 lb with scope and rings

That's a really nice rifle. With that mass, I bet the recoil isn't much more than a .30-30.
