Bump, price reduced to $4,195

Great suggestion on @odonata and @Hedge774, those were 2 I've had on my radar for a while, just the lack of factory threading had me curious on what else was out there. I think the ruger safari especially is something they need to make more of and other companies should take note, I've talked...

Thanks for everyone's help! I think I'm gonna pivot toward looking for one of those Sauer CL II's, that's exactly what I was after for a newer production Euro gun. I also appreciate all the votes for Husqvarna's and 1903's, if I didn't have a roomful of Mausers and Husky's, I'd have gone that...

This is another great call, thank you.

I love the look of those Steyr Classic II's @odonata and @SaintPanzer, where can I find the iron sight/schnable model? I see that they're still in production but all the halfstocks are more "american" styled, and everything I can find under "Steyr CL II Halfstock" are these newer models...

That R8 stock is lovely, wow. Yes it's certainly been very tempting as it's still "european", I just think until I promote a few more times it'll be out of the price range. Either way, very excellent piece and eviable for sure.

I appreciate that a lot, glad someone else feels my pain hahaha. My only fear with the Winchesters is just crummy accuracy. I hunted over one I borrowed from a buddy in Namibia and it was crap, maybe anecdotal but definitely hurt my opinion on Winchesters. My 2 favorites to use out here in the...

Thanks for the heads up, I was looking at it but I need to thread it and would like to avoid a mannlicher stocked rifle just due to velocities. I also would feel too bad taking it out in the field to beat up. Best of luck though, she's a beaut!

I'm passively considering swapping out of my many synthetic stocked rifles for another more classically lined rifle in .30-06. I consider myself above average in my knowledge of these things but am shocked that I can't for the life of me think of a single model of european-made or styled model...

It’s not manual data, but I’d look online at the Milsurp forums for folks’ loads for replicating the Swedish m41 cartridge. Very good round that your 202 should like. I mostly shoot 6.5 out of Swedish Mausers, but my wife totes a tikka t3 that we use 140 gr ppu soft points on for most hunting...

+1 to Altitude Sickness. My lease only allows for slug guns during rifle season as of last season so I snagged one and it has served me very well. Took these two 140/150’s at 150 yards no problem, along with a handful of other does that didn’t make it 50 yards after impact. In accuracy testing...

Ah, I see what you’re saying. What I meant to say is that I’m confident it was sold new magnaported as an option (not a Blaser proprietary creation or anything). I’ve seen it on a couple of 93 Luxus’ in .416 when researching price, so perhaps everyone had the same idea but I suspect it was a...

It is ported, but I believe this is factory for this specific configuration from what I’ve seen.

~14.75” LOP

Checking on it for you, give me a bit and I’ll update this with the info.

Before we get to it, some rules: 1. Earliest time-stamped unconditional “I’ll take it” below gets it 2. Plenty more photos on request (just send me a PM) 3. Price includes original Blaser case and scope/mount 4. Price does not include shipping, shipping will only be my cost from Utah 5. Payment...

Thanks for the pictures! This is great

I have looked into just outright buying one, but wanted to explore this option first. I’m not the handiest so if one of the many resourceful enthusiasts on here has a trick to just paint it, I’d be curious. Good suggestions on both counts though.

In line with my recent European kick I was curious if anyone on here has painted the black factory recoil pads on their rifles orange similar to the higher grade English sporting rifles? I’ve got a few wood stocked rifles with limbsavers that do a great job, but might look a bit better with a...

Thanks for everyone’s reply, I really appreciate it and will get to reading!

That’s a great question, I suppose continental. Though I’ve got family in the UK, the Alpine hunting region is closest to what I hunt in the states.

I’m looking to tap into the knowledge of our European & European-experienced members regarding the more traditional side of the European hunting wardrobe. I have an appreciation and interest in the history and culture of hunting on that continent, and while I’m proud of my American roots, I find...

Oh I’m looking at it for sure @Dublinpiper90, thanks for the tag. Out of my budget but the extra work done makes it seem worth it. Decisions decisions….

Still looking. I really appreciate all the offers and recommendations, just am after this particular configuration with the non-monte Carlo stock, express sights, and barrel mounted sling eyelet.

Having visited Sweden with the military/on vacation a few times and as a serious Swedish militaria collector, I have always wanted to hunt moose out there. I know from my chats with the good folks at Walter Borg in Stockholm and some Swedish Air Force buddies that leases aren't terribly...

Been a member for 5 years now and have appreciated how active and helpful folks are on here to the point I figured I'd introduce myself a little bit. I'm a younger guy from Arizona/Utah and grew up hunting public land as much as I can. Had the great fortune of my parents working long hours so we...

I just got out here to NOVA and was in your same boat around this time last year. I’d love to help you with a lease but we’re full up on mine and it’s probably one of the last ones I was able to find that was decent in the area Darn shame, but it’s just data center central on any land that’s...

Gosh dang it! Basspro has folks watching it like crazy I swear, every deal I find gets sold within an hour or two of posting!

Just .375 at the moment, I do appreciate the offer though! I’m going to be using it for western deer and elk 90% of the time so trying to keep it to .375.

IIRC he did, probably still would be happy to.

Thanks! Still shooting for something in more of the original configuration than those 2, probably just being picky but I appreciate you taking the time to throw those on here. I've looked at a lot of the major online sellers and it's either the pie in the sky 2x retail prices or just not quite...

I saw that one but it's got a B&C stock, I'd prefer everything original. Thanks for letting me know though! Saw he had a 7mm Rem Mag one that tempted me but I want to stick to .375.

Passively looking to add one of these to the collection. Doesn't need to be brand new as I'm a younger guy working with a budget. Happy to take a look at what you have, thanks!

Splendid. It would be good to be a 1 gun 1 bullet kinda man, but then where else would I waste all my time . Do you have any bonded .375 that you’d recommend then? I was looking at Hornady interlock but that’s not quite bonded. Not looking for anything to stop buff charges, just economical and...

Sure thing, he’s very skilled in a number of areas but his bread and butter is restyling common bolt rifles to be more in line with European styling for sporting rifles a century ago. I’ll include a photo but he makes these to order and customer spec, so it involves a lot more than stock...

Thanks for the advice! Sounds very good. I figured that there was a good chance meat loss would be minimized so I appreciate the confirmation. What twist rate .375’s usually? I know with .30-06 while you can load from ~110-220 gr, the 1/10 typical twist shines at 150-180. Is this the same with a...

I was looking at finally taking the plunge on a larger bore safari rifle in .375 H&H and am considering one of the Interarms/Zastava Mark X offerings. That said, I am primarily an American meat hunter. I would love to be able to have it do double duty for whitetail does for the freezer just the...

Just got off the phone with Mr. Renner discussing a potential project and per his request, I’m posting here to correct an erroneous claim in a recent Field and Stream article that he is retired. He is not in fact retired! Keep sending business his way as he is a master of his craft. Thanks and...

I like the framing! Thanks for the suggestion.

I love it, thank you. That’s a great suggestion!

Probably a dumb question but I figured I’d gauge the minds of you fine folk. I’m originally an Arizona coues whitetail hunter but in living in the eastern US have collected a number of great eastern whitetail bucks. I only do European mounts for a number of reasons, but the dilemma I’ve run into...

Glad it went to a member on here, sorry for bidding you up so much on it and the ammo. You put up a good fight at the end there!

Love my Husky’s. I think I’m going to use an Argentine 1909 or similar “true” 98 action to keep it more true to form of the pre-war guns.

Gloss is a good call for sure, didn’t know Leica has that so I appreciate it!

I’m looking at starting a build of a pre-war/rigby highland stalker-styled Mauser sporter. I’ve got the barrels and actions for it, but am curious on what the most cost effective way to obtain a traditionally-styled stock would be. I’m considering sending a monte-Carlo stock to be reworked down...

Thanks for all the suggestions! Looks like lots to review.

I’m realizing now I never put Scottish stag in the title. I’m after a hunt in Scotland, sorry for any confusion there!

I apologize for the redundancy of posts but separate to my Eastern European inquiry, I was curious if anyone has any estates or outfitters they recommend for a good stag stalking experience? I don’t need to shoot anything big, just more so looking for a low cost opportunity to go experience the...
