Mannlicher model 1905 in Africa

Sorry about the photo quality but when I ran across this thread I couldn't resist sharing. This is a Nyala shot in the Eastern Cape years ago with a 9x56 Mannlicher Schoenauer and open sights. I also took a Mountain Reedbuck with the rifle on the same hunt. The PH loved the rifle and the idea of using it. Note that I also had a 300H&H along that most of the bigger and farther away stuff was shot with. Nyala with 9x56 Mannlicher.jpg

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.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
