The Galas rifle ZG 47 in 9,3 x 62 - all you need

Good day ZG47 friends,
I own serveral ZG rifles in Calibers 270,30-06,8x60,8x64,9.3x62 and the very famous 8x68s No.05217. It is the only factory ZG47 in this caliber that has ever been found.
The ZG has always served me well, and I feel it is the best rifle ever made.

Hi Withold I also have a few Mausers from Germany Yugoslavia Mexico and and a Chilean built by Obendorf Berlin, lately I been looking at a Polish K98 1939 in 250 Savage I was going to PM you but saw your discussion here I'm wondering if you have an opinion on Polish Mausers,,thanks
 
Sorry Withold it's a 1929
 
Witold,

Beautiful rifle. Thank you for sharing. Here is the stage my 7x57 is at. It's a small ring pre WWI action with a nice piece of French walnut. Her older sister is going to be 9.3x6.2 on a matching piece of wood cut side by side.

Thanks again for sharing.

Hi Rob44
The so-called Polish Mauser was produced under license from Mauser.
In Poland she is Valued and sought by hunters and collectors.

Hello Hunt Hard Safaris. I have Orginal Oberndorf Mauser /militari action/ in 404 Jeffery.

Witold,
a picture please.
Good thread ,thank you.

9,3x62 was created by the Gunsmith Otto Bock from Berlin in 1907
His target was a strong catridge for the German African Colonies, but in a short,cheaper system.
After the WWar the English Goverment tried to delete all what smells German.That was in those days.
And so, in some english (Ex-)Colonies 9,3 is not official allowed for Big Game .
To bad,but an expirienced PH said to me(.375 carrying) "when you come with a 9,3x62,don't worry about them"

Good to see you on this site. I did not realize that you had such a large armoury of ZG47 rifles.

Hi Rob44.
PFK Warszawa - The National Gun Faktory Warsaw.
This is a military or hunting rifle?

Thanks again Witold, This is Re-barreled to 25-06 and re-stocked with a Bishop stock with the name Kostelecky on the barrel drilled and tapped for scope mounts along with a Peep Site on the side,so I would classify it as a sporter

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
