A break open single shot rifle made in Ferlach by Ludwig BOROVNIK, finished and scoped by DORLEAC.
That kind of rifle originated in the Bad Ischl area, in upper Austria, Province of Salsburg.
For a continental chamois hunter it's the epitome of the light and handy mountain rifle.
The rebounding hammer sidelock is the safest system for a rifle that is carried loaded during long stalk and cocked only before the shot.
That one, in stuzen form (stocked to the muzzle) sports a Bölher "Super Blitz" 23" monobloc barrel, chambered for the 6,5x57R cartridge and fitted to a typical rounded Ischler action. The bolting is by means of two Purdey type under lugs with a sort of doll head.
The classic stock was made from a very dense piece of French walnut and the traditional Austrian engraving is from the hands of OBILTSCHNIG.
We have finished the in the white barrel, fitting the sights and the Swarovski scope on special reduced "Ferlacher Art" hand made claw mounts.
Hubert DAMPERAT, a young talented French engraver, did the rib engraving in the same style, then all parts were slow rust blued.
That rifle weights only 6lb 8oz and prints cloverleaves with RWS 8,2g KS.
Sorry for by bad English…hope you will enjoy.
