I'm in the middle of building a 3 rifle set with a veddy british flavor. 275 H&H, 300 H&H, and 375 H&H. For a fourth, how about 240 H&H. Try and find 4 close to matching nice sticks of wood and stock them with a n eye to copying the Mauser A style of yesteryear. Cheers.

The .244 Holland & Holland would fit better for your "set-up"

I have 2 Mausers in the rifle set so far and with 4 I think would have to be a "classic" selection
.275 Rigby
.375 H&H
.416 Rigby
.505 Gibbs

pretty well covers everything from Rat to Elephant, 20 yards to 350, just need to get Holland detachables for them all and a complete set of Swarovskis - 11/2 to 16 by 24 by 50

Johan
Since you ruled out African Game and seem to want to keep the calibres European, how about this.

A 6.5x55 with a good scope for light game at a distance.

A 7x57 with a full length Mannlicher stock.

Your 8x68 for bigger game at a distance.

A 9,3x62 for bigger game and driven game up close.

GBF, stainless barrels can be blued, if needed Time to confess your sins?

rigbymauser, your projects sounds interesting. What actions will you use for these?

Hollis500- Yes, from rat to big game is the idea behind my set. You got any pictures of your mauser’s? 505 Gibbs is far to much hot sauce for my taste.

NE450No2,
African on the list for sure- unfortunately most of my hunting will be outside "the dark continent" Except a few species most African animals can be taken with "normal" calibres used for sheep, bear, moose, elk deer and wild boar etc.

A 9,3X70 would fit without opening the action My smith has built a few 404 Jeffery on standard mauser actions, open a few millimetres in the rear would be no problem on a ZG-47 since factory magazine is 89mm. Altering the actions look by slotting to ease loading is not an option. I would rather use a magnum mauser and 416 Rigby. A rifle dedicated for dangerous game built on a magnum would be perfect, a great reason to procure one more toy and annoy the local Gestapo authorities ZG-47 was originally chambered for a number of metric calibres and 270, 3006. Military cartridges can be a hindrance in some countries- Belgium, France and Spain got some restrictions.

Cheers
Johan

Hallo,

for a classic german-style Mauser:

cal.: 9x57 (9mmMauser)
10,75x68

I shoot the 9x57 (in a original Genschow M98, build in 1931)since 11years on wildpigs here in Germany and be very satisfied about it.
Since last year I also have a 10,75x68 custommade, based on a pol. M98 Radomreciver. This morning I was on the local shooting-range with it and it shows a 3shot 1"-result at 110yds. with the manuell loaded 347gr. Woodleigh softpoint-roundnose.
Barrells are made in both calibres by the german gunsmith Lothar-Walther (webside: www.lothar-walther.de) with 25,75" length.
The typical stock is a slim, dark-brown walnut-stock without rose-wood top or white plates between stock and recoil-pat.
A german double-trigger is also typical for this rifles built between 1900-1940.
The 9x57 is also able to used in shortbarrell-rifles with full-stock (mannlicher-style). It burns fast powder like Rottweil R902 or R903. You can go with the barrell-length down to 20", without velocity or energyproblems.
The 10,75x68 made no sence to use it in barrells shorter than 24".
Relodingdies are availebel by RCBS and Redding for the 9x57 (also reforming-dies from 8x57 and .30-06 to 9x57 from RCBS), and RCBS and C-H for the 10,75x68.
Cases are from Horneber both, or reformed 8x57 or .30-06.
Norma-cases are good reformable. For the 10,75x68 you can only use original-cases, no other case has nearley that messures.
Case-holder is for the 9x57 the RCBS No.3, and for the 10,75x68 the RCBS No.30 (same like for the 9,3x72R). Horneber-cases in 10,75x68 don´t
goes in the No.2.
For buillets you can use all .358"-Buillets in the 9x57.
Good weigt for the cartridge are the 225 and the 250gr.
I shoot the 250gr. Speer Grand-Slam.
For the 10,75x68 you can use the original 347gr. rounds or the ones for the .404 Jeffery with 350gr. The 400gr. rounds are to heavy and to hard for the lower velocity of the 10,75x68. Buillets for the 10,75x68 (.422" and .423") are made by Woodleigh and Degol and mayby Barnes.
The maximum pressure for the 9x57 is 36200psi, for the 10,75x68 42000psi.

regards
Manolito
