Thanks for the insight. I'm really surprised how many members here used to go hunting in Germany and are well aquainted with the local customs.
I might take mine to the local Frankonia in Würzburg to have them install a sling swivel, the guns they have in stock have sadly taken a turn for the worse, though. Black plastic gets boring for me after a while.
Personally I rarely shoot at more than 150m and I don't plan on taking it up a mountain, my 8mm is a little better suited to that for now.
I was stationed near Wurzburg, just up the Rhine at Ashaffenburg...I miss Hey Lands Bier.....what'd I'd give for one of their Krystal Weizens!
Barnes still makes their 220 and 250 grain original bullets and Woodleigh a 250. I'm not sure how difficult it may be for you to get there though, but a few to consider.
