Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Osa Johnson's Oberndorf Mauser Type A 9.3x62

I do not know about the rest of you, but I figure Mr Johnson must have been quite a man to have captured the heart of such a woman as Osa.

"She was likely a 1 in 10 million find. I think I have one of those at home too, with the only difference being that I can outshoot my wife."

I married such a woman as well and although I shoot faster, I have never shot more accurately than she. We are bound for South Africa in the spring, her choice of rifle is 30-06. Her reasoning sound. She said that none of the animals we will hunt are bigger than the moose we hunt, and none of them have traveled more than twenty yards after she shot them.

I humbly submit that when a country boy marries a girl from the bush, he has done the wisest thing he will ever do. Beauty, strength, both inner and outer, and a natural problem solving manner are the blessings I have experienced over the past 32 years.
