Cigarette rifle?
- Thread starter MS 9x56
- Start date
I think it was a term used for rifles produced by impoverished German gunsmiths post WWII built on sporterized surplus 98 actions, that they would sell/trade to GIs for "cigarettes", or other goods, or a few dollars to survive. Generally not particularly high quality.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
