Thanks to all. I've tried all those about over and over and over. I think it was a problem with my antivirus or my home firewall. Maybe, this time it will work.
L2S, Oh, that we could have sat before a mopane fire and swapped lies. What a trip that would have been!

The top one is what I call my Leopard Gun. She has been there and done it. The stock was broken between the wrist and action sometime in the past. I have no story on that. There is a small spot of a finger print of blood rust on the barrel, again no story, but I imagine many different scenarios for both. The stock is refinished, somewhat less than professionally, probably after the stock broke. Those all add to her, for me. It also has a little thingy on the extractor that lets me use rimless cases if need be. I have found she does not like sleet, snow and freezing rain. That freezing water gets inside the action and the action does not work when its full of ice. If I could have only one gun, this would be the one I would have!

The second one is my Meffert Hubertus. She is 8x57JR and 16 dural drilling, with a 22 mag insert in the right barrel. I have a Lee die to squeeze down bullets to 318. She was my fair weather bird gun back in PA. Here in Virginia, I only have woodcock and those I can't use a darn Greener safety for quick shots, so its a deer, turkey squirrel gun.

The bottom one is my Sauer Lux 7x57R and 16 drilling. It has a 5.6x50R full length insert in the right barrel. While the engraving is lovely, it's a serious hunting gun, so the wood and metal both show use. I have the 5.6 shooting to the same point as my 139 grain 7x57 at 100 yards, and a cast load for the 5.6 to the sights at 50 yards. A very versatile gun, that i wish was in 8x57.
Here are photos of some of my 8x57 rounds I noticed that i didn't include my 200 grain partition load. And then some of my stash of 8 mm bullets.

What's yours?


I haven't owned a combination gun in a long time. When I did, my favorite was an exposed hammer SxS 12 gauge x .30-40 Krag. Wish I still had that one. frown

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Awesome photos BlackFly1! I only have one combo a German cape gun in 20gauge over 6.5x52r (25-35 win). Luv2Safari has been complicit in helping me get it set up and was kind enough to sell me a nice 4x Zeiss scope with rail that I am proud to have done a bunch of work plugging old mounting holes in the rail and getting it fitted to a set of claw mounts that I hand fit to the gun. The shotgun is very tightly choked but stupid accurate with the iron sights (perfectly regulated), same with the rifle barrel. I am load a 110 grain Hornady FTX over 26.5 grains of CFE 223 for around 2350fps. Excited to take a deer with it, going to keep shots within 100 yards. I need to find a suitable coyote load for the 20 gauge that won’t blow me up. I don’t reload shotgun shells so I am at a disadvantage.

Probably was. I don't know much about its history before I "bought" (inherited) it. Unfortunately for me, my dad more or less twisted my arm causing me to sell a good many things I'd gotten from my mom's dad's estate before I got to figure out what they were used for. That's the "joy" of being 13 with a father who is a self-proclaimed expert on everything. If it wasn't an '06 like his it wasn't worth owning and I wasn't old enough to know any better or put up any sort of fight-back. Lot of neat stuff went by the wayside.
