    Let's see if now is working... A new roebuck hunted by me in the mountain area. I also had the opportunity to hunt wild boars, so I used the "big" rifle (Voere 9.3x62) instead of the small old lady in 6.5x54. In the first days I had the chance to see many animals (including a huge male boar that I first thought to be a bear due to his size) but I had no luck with my roebuck. It was so bad due to the fact that in the first day I had an epic miss at short distance (~70m) on an abnormal male. I'm unable to explain it even now... In my last day, we changed the area and climbed a

    Yes, I can go on any of the hunting areas managed by our club. We are not forced to participate at the driven hunts

    As I promised earlier... Last year was one of my worst in terms of time allocated for hunting and this mainly because I had to travel often in other countries (mostly to UK). I spent most of the time from the beginning of the season trying to hunt a specific roebuck but I had no luck ( due to bad weather, human activities or simply bad luck). At least I had some beautiful sceneries and a lot of exercise (much needed after the winter season) After this failure I had to travel to Exeter for 6 weeks because my company had a contract with MetOffice. The bad part was that thi

    A weird [and dangerous] combination of old and poor quality glass that somehow works for his eyes (or at least he claims that). I tried and I was not able to see anything ... My other companion also had old binoculars but one of a very good quality (a Zeiss) and I can tell that it can compete with modern stuff with no problems. I think that I will look in my archive for bucks from previous seasons

    You don't want to look through that ?

    The smallest animal from the "big game" list (roe deer, fallow deer, mouflon, red stag, wild boar, bear, chamois) is also one of my favorites (maybe also due to the fact that we could not hunt too many species in this year period - from May until October). The only thing that I don't like while hunting roebucks is the warm weather. 2 things, I forgot about mosquitos This year I was unable to start the season from the beginning but I finally managed to escape the job responsibilities for one week and I was able to hunt 4 roebucks. My first attempt was in a mountain area and I had

    It is illegal to hunt wild boars with catch dogs in Romania. Some people will do that on their risk and yes, they are able to catch a wild boar (mostly females and youngsters but sometimes also full size males) We are using the dogs just for finding and pushing the animals to the hunters. Obviously, injures are frequent because the dogs will often make contact with a wounded animal or with one that will simply don't want to leave the thick vegetation. Small size dogs are usually safer to use...

    Yes, a primer. Their argument was that this could be used to ignite an explosive device. Soooo stupid! If a licensed hunter could use a primer for an explosive device then he could easily obtain some from a factory made cartridge Also, the power of artificial fertilizers is already proven for the crazy people that will want to build a bomb.
  16. biriuck
    Yes, this is an option but the penalty if you are caught is too big. If you have one single primer you are some sort of a terrorist now (I wonder how many hunters used that for doing terrorist acts). I remember that when I was still a kid (not long time ago) , my father used to reload cartridges because he did not trust the factory slugs for dangerous game. It was more like a ritual for him and I was fascinated to assist
  17. biriuck
    No, is not common. It was included in the gun price from the previous owner. Probably, I will send a custom command to Austria (or maybe RWS will start producing it again - they have a poll on their site for this). Reloading is not possible in Romania (stupid law!!) Anyway, since this will be used only at roe deer stalking, I have enough for ~15-20 years

    @17hornet you reminded me that I managed to do a nice experiment last week with some wild boar backstrap. I will let the pictures for now and I will add the details later...

    Finally, the paperwork is done and I was able to buy ammo for my new rifle (and another 100 Norma Oryx 9.3x62 for the next season driven hunts )

    well, Google translate should be your friend
  23. biriuck
    Yes. And is not so easy to do, usually tis should be done by a gunsmith. Actually, the biggest problem with this kind of weapon is to find the proper mounts for the weapon, not for the scope. I think that the scope is similar with the one that I have mounted on Steyr (check the pictures) One that site, from time to time, one could find all kind of 'exotic' mounts for old systems (this is an auction that I missed http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=6859563#img) P.S. why would you need a silencer for?
  24. biriuck
    Keep an eye on egun, you should find some good mounts there... That reticle is very good in low light condition, here could be used in a night with full moon at wild boars Also, with some training, that reticle could be used as a rangefinder Nice rifle, it seems to be a more recent model.

    I'm having a single trigger at my Voere rifle. I'm happy with that but will never match the double trigger set for long distances The disadvantage of these old ladies is that is very difficult to put a top quality scope on them (I have a Leica Magnus 2.4-16x56 on Voere) I also have the original scope of the Brno (a very old Meopta that I should send to some serious repair). The scope from the Mannlicher is an old Carl Zeiss with German #1 reticle (very good in poor light) The scope mount from Brno is factory made (and is a more elegant solution), the one from Mannlicher is added la
