I am seriously considering buying one of the Voere 2165's in .375. Has anyone had any experience with these??

I have shot a Voere Shikar which is a push feed and it was very nice. The Voere page says that is a mauser 98 action so it is a good start.

That's a nice looking rifle. A little long in the foeend but still....What is the price?
A 7.5lb 375 would be a joy to carry.

The 2155/2165 had a good revue in the March Sporting Shooter magazine, the 2165 RRP is about AU$1950 (depending on options). Seems like a pretty good price for what you get and was just looking for feedback if anyone had any experience with them. Gun writers sometimes are not perfectly objective

I have a Voere 2155 on order. The rifle I inspected was quite impressive for the price. I checked out both the 2155 and 2165, and personally liked the plainer features of the 2155. The Australian importer did not have a 7x57 in stock, could have taken a 7x64, but wanted the 7x57, hence the wait.

That one looks OK but I have mixed feelings about Voeres (or should that be Voeren?). They sometimes seem a strange blend of class and crapiness. I looked at one with good chequering and (now) rare open sights but could not get over the sheet-metal trigger guard - and it was not cheap. The original old, unrefined M98 guard would have been been far better.

Sorry Hiwall no experiance in one of those but I own a 308 Voere and absolutely love that weapon. I don't think you can go wrong with a Voere in any caliber.
