Hi All

I thought I'd share a few photos of a recent hunt using my new 1903 Mannlicher. She arrived from the UK a couple of months ago and it was love at first site. She is almost virginal in condition - everything is nice and tight with matching numbers. She has a few features not often seen on a 1903 (side safety catch and the steyr mounts usually seen on later models). The scope is surprisingly clear for such an ancient old thing and so far seems to be returning to zero and putting the 160 grainers exactly where I want them.

The load I have settled on is 38 gns of AR2209 in Norma cases behind the Hornady .264" 160 gn RNSP. On her first outing she cleaned up half a dozen good boars and 7 brumby's from ranges out to 100m or so.

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers.
