Re: rifles in dutch east-india

Quote:

found this pic's in the net, sometimes around 1930. what do you think about the rifles? the white hunter may have a german M 88 sporter and his native companion seems to have a M 95 dutch mannlicher with original miltary stock but i can be wrong:





the M 88 in 8x57 is a little bit on the ligth side but many M 88 for colony's get new barrels for 9x57.
the 6,5x53R have a fine reputation for big game including elefant's.




Photos copied to NE.

I like these little Mannlichers.
