Old goat

[MS 9x56]

I have been following this forum for awhile and have found many like minded hunters here. I have never been too Africa but spend an inordinate amount of time daydreaming about it. I love eating game meat and my children grew up eating venison, wild boar, rabbits wild turkey, squirrels and grouse. I have an appreciation of fine guns and a love of nature. I always dreamed of owning a Mannlicher Schoenauer and 3 years ago fulfilled that dream when I procured a model 1905 . I am a firm believer in the medium bores. I look forward to learning from each of you. That you.

Hello MS 9x56,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Your 9x56 would I predict, do very well on all species of non dangerous game, from duiker to eland.
Where legal I will guess it’d also work well on leopard or perhaps even lion.
I expect Woodleigh makes bonded core, proper round nose bullets for it.

Best regards,
Velo Dog.

Thank you Velo Dog for the information I will check the Woodliegh web site for proper bullets.

Welcome! What is your favorite rifle to hunt with?

The one I am holding at the time. I really enjoy the older models and calibers. Especially if they are no longer loaded for. I enjoy the challenge of bringing them back to do the job they were built for. I prefer larger holes in my barrels and my game. Less tracking more eating.
