Well this is a certain Mr Ses fault

Beautiful! I hope to see it and hold it someday.
 
I have to admit @spike.t , I’m not completely sure which I’m more jealous of right now…that beautiful gun or the green grass in the pic. I’m really getting tired of winter this time around. ;)

Actually had to go back and look at the photos to see whst you were on about.....its summer ...well on way towards autumn..winter now...and been cold for few days....but yeah summer equals rains here...not been great here this year though ..

I’m usually fine with winter but for some reason this one’s dragging on for me.
We’ll chat again soon about that sable and eventually maybe I’ll get to hold on to that new beauty of yours. ;)
 
Congratulations @spike.t with this wonderful rifle! Hopefully it will serve you well for many years to come!

Will you be scoping it? Or keep it iron's only?

Well it will be irons for a while as I like them....and also those scope things cost a shit load I believe... ;)

Looking forward to that....sure you could possibly persuade me to let you shoot something with it ... ;) :D Beers:

As rains been bit slow we already seeing small areas of grass stating to brown....but I prefer it brown and dry....seems more normal...:X3::E Big Grin:
 
And anyone that books a hunt and uses a 7x57 or 275.....if they happen to accidentally forget something....;)....then sure we can sort something....

And got availability as Biden seems to have fkd up some people.......
 
I'll be in Johannesburg in less than 18 hours. You can shoot mine if I can shoot yours.

After @sestoppelman put his thread on about M98 prices rocketing , and as I said in it that there was a 7x57 here in the gunshop I had been playing with every time I went in and over quite a period....I went in and discussed terms....as 7500 workable..but 12000 plus not...so apparently I have handed over enough up to now ...as I went in yesterday and the licence was put in front of me....so my last 4 years of bday presents to myself is....

Awesome purchase. This year I bought a Rigby 275 built in 1956. Love the history and caliber. How could you turn down a Mauser in this great caliber? You did very well!!! CongrTulations!

@Scott CWO
I would advise @spike.t to put it under glass for you to see it. If he gave it to you to hold I can see those running shoes coming in handy as you disappear out the door with it.

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.
