I have done it and so have others. Mine was a Husky 98 large ring. No alteration needed for correct feeding. I did bed the action and added two crossbolts because of the greater recoil. Shoots great. It's my favorite rifle.

So good of you to do this for Bosveld Jacobs. The Jacobs family are very good people.

I've met the man and have his book. Excellent read.

They handle everything.

I bought a Husky 146 from Simpsons. Had it rechambered from 9.3x57 to 9.3x62. Large ring 98 action. I bedded the action and added two Talley crossbolts. Put a 2-7x scope on it and took it to Africa. It's my favorite rifle.

I could not watch the whole video. Just too painful. I've shot double triggered sxs shotguns my whole life and I think anyone new to double rifles should buy a twin triggered sxs double and shoot a lot of clays. Shooting doubles at skeet and sporting clays will build muscle memory and make you a...

Nothing at all wrong with a sleeved double. You are basically getting a new set of barrels. Critics sometimes say that sleeving destroys the balance of a good gun but that has not been my experience. Sleeving is a costly endeavor that requires a lot of skill. The gunsmiths doing sleeving...

My mistake. I saw a photo of another model.

Thank you. Shoots very nicely too.

Front swivel no longer a barrel band and the stock is now a Monte carlo.

My favorite is a Husqvarna Mauser in 9.3x62. Made about 1940. It is a Model 146 that was a 9.3x57 that I had rechambered to 9.3x62. It's a plain rifle but it sure looks old school cool.

Interesting that you describe it like being in a car accident. That's exactly what I told my wife about the recoil when my rifle was at its original weight. I told her that it felt like I'd been in a car crash. I too had headaches until I brought the weight of my gun to what worked for me. I...

My 416 RM weighed 9 lb 4 oz w/o scope and it beat me up. A little better with a scope at about 10 lbs 4 oz. I added weight to make it weigh 12 pounds with the scope and it was comfortable to shoot. I carried it without a sling for 10 days no problem. Add some weight.

I brought one home and gave it to my son. Now I wish that I'd bought myself one. I will on the next trip.
