Another rifle in my favorite German caliber - 11.2x72 Schuler

I just added a 4th 11.2x72 Schuler caliber rifle to the family. Although this one is marked "A.Jansen", it is likely made by Schuler.
This is one wonderful rifle. Hope to have a field test later this week.

specs are:

Mauser 98 Action
11.2x72 Schuler caliber - 1 up 4 down
Double triggers
26-1/4" barrel - Octagon to round
Full Length Matted Rib
3 Leaf Rear Site - one standing / two Folding
Silver Bead Front Site
8 pounds 12 ounces
14-1/4" LOP
Red Silvers Recoil Pad
made in 1927

Well, back from the range today ... although many are skeptical about this cartridge. I once again proved that you can get a 2400+ fps with the 11.2x72 Schuler cartridge.

There was a gun shop in the Belgian Congo by the name of A. Janssen. Your beautiful 11.2x72mm Auguste Schuler Model 34 was most likely retailed by them. Pre World War II, it was the second most popular big game caliber in the Belgian Congo (barring the 10.75x68mm Mauser).
