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.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
