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.

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?



About the best I've been able to do at 100 yards, but it's me, not the gun's fault

Or mebbe #4?

Nice looking rifles and good shooting Dan!

Who made the breech seater?

Here is the target. I'll let Ulvejaeger tell the details.

#1 remington rolling block, 330gr. Brook's mold, bullets actually weighed 328 grs., .06 Walters veg fiber wad, 45 gr. of Swiss 1 1/2 black powder
and Federal 150 large pistol primers. Cartridge was 40-50 Sharp's straight. Cases are reformed Win 30-40 Krag. Condition's were exceptionally
good!!! Red bullseye is 6" in diameter. Somewhere there is 1 shot AWOL, it is a 25 shot target.

Thank you elkchser!

Not yet Dan. Lemme get this one and play with it for a while. I wouldn't be interested in the High Wall at all but man, that is a nice looking rifle!!

Good shootin' all of you!

Such exquisite rifles.....
