Average Shot Range in East Cape SA

“230ish”? Are you a soul so brave as to only take shots so far as you can well estimate with the naked eye?
Well done. My taste in vintage rifles may be just a little bit different, but I have a soft spot for the lever guns. Hopefully I can take my 1895 on a future trip.

My PH said the exact range when I shot. That was 3 years ago. It was at least 230, and I think a bit more - 230ish. It was a trickier shot than it sounds. It was in the open, the wind was freaking screaming, and it was my smallest critter - a springbok.

I have an 1895... I have pondered mine as well.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
