As Ripp mentioned above a thread for open sighted hunting would be great! I have posted a few pics earlier in the year my Mannlicher 8x60S, which is my go to gun! I try and load as close to the original factory specs thanks to Kuduae!

Most of my rifles is open sighted, and I try and use them for hunting whenever I can! The Mannlicher in 8x60S is just one of those perfect "fit" rifles. I have other MS rifles, but the 8x60S just tick all the boxes....

Nice looking rifle as well as nice trophies taken..congrats..

Curious what bullet you were using??
