Hi guys!
New member from Sweden. Have been hunting since childhood and are now 37 years.
I hunt everything Sweden has to offer from moose to pigeons. Both rifle and shotgun hunting. Mostly wild boars these days but I grew up with mostly small game hunting ( hare hunting with dog).
The population of boars are growing rapidly here in Sweden from being extinct. Now we shoot more then 100 000 boars/year.
I am a keen handloader, and my latest project is to load ammo for my new Oberndorf Mauser 98 in 9x57. Should work fine for the boars with heavy bullets in low velocity.

Welcome to AH 9x57! You will fit right in, glad you found us!
 
Welcome to AH!
 
Välkommen ombord!

Looking forward to hear from your hunting stories.
Just a heads up. This forum is very persuasive and it won’t be long before your hunting dreams will head south.

I put a Leupold 2-7x33 with German No. 1 reticle on it. Can't use a modern sight on a classic gun, even if I was tempted. Hope you understand my English even if the grammar and spelling isn' t perfect. :-)

Welcome to AH, I like your Mauser, the safety is not original right ?

Welcome and enjoy.
 
Welcome to AH
Great rifle with good grains in the wood
The grains run perfectly through the grip this is important
That will be an excellent caliber for boars, and a good bush hunt in South Africa

I bought it with this three position safety, but it’s not original. I got the original flag safety with the gun.

There was a smal crack in the grip behind the tang when i bought the rifle. The mecanism is bedded to the stock, but i thought the tang was a bit in contact with the wood backwards, so I took away a small amount of wood backwards an glued the crack. I will check this crack from time to time.
 
Welcome to AH 9x57! Enjoy the site.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
