Hello from Kansas

Joined today, I loved old prewar German schuetzen rifles, own and shoot several. I hunt with pre WW1 Mauser sporters. I have been bitten by the Mannlicher Schoeneaur bug after purchasing an MCA 243 a year ago. I am haggling to buy a 1910 9.5x57 full stock. Hope to close the deal Monday.

Welcome from another (originally) Kansan!
 
The only place I have been in Africa is Morocco. My Wife and I vacationed there during Ramadan in 2015, loved it, such a beautiful place, people were wonderful. We are taking a 30 day cruise in December thru the Suez down the east coast to Cape Town. Kind of a get acquainted with the country thing. She is constantly encouraging me to take a hunt in Africa, I tell her I am too old, but I have bought a medium bore, who knows.
 
Welcome to AH and the posting side! Great to have you here and we are looking forward to you sharing your stories!

Hello @yamoon … Welcome! I’m equally a fan of the full stock Stutzen ie Mannlicher rifles & living/working in Germany puts me in primary real estate to score afew classic before my contract terminates.

A German friend has two/2 in Sako & Steyr .308 & 9.3x62 … balance fell off shooting stix also!

Happy Trails

Find a Mannlicher Schoenauer in 10.75 X 68 and you've hit the jackpot.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
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!
