DORLEAC on 9.3x62 iron sighted rifle
06/02/24 12:19 AM

Perhaps it is due to my first years of hunting with an FN Mauser sporting a Lyman 48 peep, I have always had a great attraction for rifles that are used with iron sights only.
Here we often hunt game that we shoot on the run when our dogs chase them, and I love a lot these "snap shot" rifles.
On the other hand, having seen, repaired and restored a few of them, I have a particular fondness for the Jeffery bolt action working rifles built first of all to be reliable tools on difficult terrain.
That's why, in my spare time, I built for my own use this particular 9.3x62.
The system is a 1930 made commercial Original Mauser 98' action for which we have reproduced the rarely encountered Mauser "single-stage shotgun-type trigger" as illustrated on page 130 of the remarkable Jon Speed "Original Oberndorf Sporting Rifles" book.
The barrel is a 25" Lothar Walther tube of match grade quality that has been profiled in a classic shape and the sighting is provided by a rare and superb Lyman mod.35, a flush fitted three leafs express rear sight and a very special hand made front sight that takes up the standards of the pre-war models used by Jeffery.
The stock has been made from an old French walnut blank cut by Tessier in Brives at the end of the sixties. With a comb drop suitable for standing shooting, it is shaped without cheekpiece nor forend tip.
I know that it is a modernized interpretation of the classic productions of the great era, perhaps too severe, without fantasy, but it is the style that I like.
Currently in the white it will soon be finished with the greatest care and I shall be pleased to publish more pictures when completed.

Regards to all.
