Rapid fire practice with 9.3x62

Great video. Looks like a lot of fun!
 
@spike.t it is a 1924 Mauser Oberndorf Type B. It came from a farming family in Zimbabwe. They left and brought it to NZ. When they moved to Aus they sold it and I am its second NZ owner.
The rifle came with a few 286gr Norma Solids and has quite a few marks on the stock. The rear sight has also been filed out in to more of an express sight.
I reckon the rifle has taken buff and lots of other game, possibly elephant?
The rapid shooting is a huge amount of fun, especially with the targets where you get instant feedback if you hit or miss.

Wow looks like you been having fun without me
My 9.3 x 62 is also an old Mauser 1926 in Zimbabwe.

Have changed the stock due to crack and the bore is worn, they tell me I will be lucky to get 2 inch group at 100metres.
 
I am very keen to copy the balloon shoot, wish I had seen it earlier before I went to the range yesterday.
My 9.3 always goes with and I am always planning on keeping lots of ammo in stock.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
