I owned an Otto Geyger S/S in 8x60RS that was made sometime before 1938. Was the finest double in quality I have owned. It was in excellant condition except for the horn buttplate which was very worm eaten and had to be replaced. Everything about it was 'best' quality in all ways. Never had any factory 8x60 brass but RCBS had dies to make from 9.3x74r brass. It was a very very accurate rifle and I really enjoyed shooting it. I had adapter bases made to use Leupold rings to fit the original claw bases by removing the front base (it was dovetailed) and replacing it. It could easily be returned to original. It was one accurate rifle and shot well into 1/2" with both barrels with only a small spread between barrels. Would be a fine plains game rifle. I have never seen a Geyger rifle that was NOT 'best' quality. The attention to detail was complete. Even the small front bracket that held the horn guard and screwed into the frame was engraved and it could only be seen plainly when removed. As with most guns I've owned wish I had it back. That's the sad fact of life trying to own fine guns on normal wages something always has to go to get something new. As I get older I get more and more reluctant to let go.
