Looks nice!

What is your load for it?
Have you hunted with it?

Johann,
That looks like a very nice rifle. Thanks for showing us.
Any chance of a few more details like maker, barrel length, sights etc.
Is it an ejector gun and do you have the scope for it.
Any idea on what year she was built?
Sorry to be a pest but is there any chance of a photo showing the action open?
Thanks again for posting it here.

Beautiful rifle--a functional piece of art-the fine metalwork detail is magnificent!

Hi 4seventy,
here some details of my old Lady:The gunmaker was Anton Schwandner in Wien and built the DR 1912 with a Carl Zeiss Jena Zielvier scope no.39800
the barrel length is 618 mm and I use RWS copper soft point flat nose with bullet-length 0,80 inch and bullet-weight 193 grains.
I shot many wild boars and other animals between 130 and 150 yds.
regards Johann

Great rifle. Though something that sexy shouldn't be referred to as "the old girl"

.

I have to say that is the first time I've ever seen a dolls head on an O/U.

Johann,
Thank you for all those photos and the details.
That rifle is a real beauty, something very special indeed, and appears to be in very good condition!
I'll bet you get much pleasure owning and hunting with it.
You can most likely tell that I really like that rifle!

Thanks again.

Old ladies never die they just get going. Sellier&Bellot makes exatly the same kind of bullet than that. Have you ever tried that one?
I've been shot couple of hunreds s&b 12,5g sp with my 9,3X62 on the shooting range and I think that it might be quite neat roe deer bullet if velocity was not too high.
