I am a sucker for old German rifles. Found this one I thought worth the money and it should be on its way to my digs shortly. It will make two Schuetzen rifles I have, chambered to different cartridges and with completely different adornment. This would be the fancy one and I hope it shoots as good as the plain vanilla one. Both are Haenel/Aydt actions and fortunately the sights came with both rifles. Evidently I will have to fit the stem of this one to the base on the rifle. No biggy. https://www.gunsinternational.com/g...t-schuetzen-8-15x51.cfm?gun_id=101137544

Congratulations!!!
It is nice to see the sight key is there also.
Enjoy shooting that rifle and if you ever decide to part with it
let me know/
I should have been paying more attention but sometimes life happens.
I am shooting a CPA in 38-55 because there are some BP only matches
during the winter in this part of MT.

Danke, mein Herr! I had to type that....lol!
I was glad to see the key. One did not come with my other Schuetzen rifle so I cut and filed a double ended, open end wrench out of a piece of angle iron. After conversations with the seller and the condition he described the rifle I believe it will be a shooter. 'Course, most of us know how that is....never know until you shoot it.
Things like this rifle seem to pop up when I'm not actively looking, however, when I saw it, it didn't take long to decide.

That is a work of art. Museum worthy but better as a shooter, enjoy.

I'm jealous! I'm also shooting a CPA in the schuetzen matches around here. I have a 22 lr barrel for it, and have a 32-40 bbl on the way.

Somebody should ask Ulvejaeger to post a pic of the target he shot saturday, 520 out of a possible 625. Pretty impressive to say the least!

By any chance you lookin' for #3?  ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/abt1TZ0.jpg) About the best I've been able to do at 100 yards, but it's me, not the gun's fault ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/dbOtflM.jpg)
