    well, Google translate should be your friend

    Yes. And is not so easy to do, usually tis should be done by a gunsmith. Actually, the biggest problem with this kind of weapon is to find the proper mounts for the weapon, not for the scope. I think that the scope is similar with the one that I have mounted on Steyr (check the pictures) One that site, from time to time, one could find all kind of 'exotic' mounts for old systems (this is an auction that I missed http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=6859563#img) P.S. why would you need a silencer for?

    Keep an eye on egun, you should find some good mounts there... That reticle is very good in low light condition, here could be used in a night with full moon at wild boars Also, with some training, that reticle could be used as a rangefinder Nice rifle, it seems to be a more recent model.

    I'm having a single trigger at my Voere rifle. I'm happy with that but will never match the double trigger set for long distances The disadvantage of these old ladies is that is very difficult to put a top quality scope on them (I have a Leica Magnus 2.4-16x56 on Voere) I also have the original scope of the Brno (a very old Meopta that I should send to some serious repair). The scope from the Mannlicher is an old Carl Zeiss with German #1 reticle (very good in poor light) The scope mount from Brno is factory made (and is a more elegant solution), the one from Mannlicher is added la

    Brno 22F in 7x57 vs. Mannlicher Schönauer in 6.5x54. Brno tried to copy the design but with a Mauser action. They did a good job but now, when I'm able to compare them side by side, I could tell that the Mannlicher action is smoother . The sights are identical, the trigger group also identical, Brno has a longer barrel (and this is making it well balanced for my size) and I prefer the bolt handle position of ZB. Such a little beauty

    This is how it looks in winter. The meat is not affected but the animal is weakened and a predator will have more chances to put him down

    did you find any ticks on the other side? If that is a tick infestation then you should also found many of them fixed in the skin. I'm not familiar with the deer parasites from UK but this kind of skin is similar with the ones I have seen in the past. In my case it was another parasite that could be found as larva under the skin during the winter but will exit and fly away when will be warm enough outside. Also, ticks are usually infesting areas that are not easy to reach/rub by the animal. It looks weird to me to see this :|

    The 6.5×54mm Mannlicher–Schönauer is finally in my possession Tomorrow I need to go to the Police in order to be added in my weapon permit. After that, I will need another week until I could go to take back my permit. All that after waiting for ~30 days until I received the authorisation to buy. Stupid bureaucracy! Probably this is the main reason here for avoiding to buy a new hunting weapon. What is the procedure in UK? I will add later some decent photos in natural light...

    I agree, but for steel parts is OK and this is very important since you could have problems with many oils when the temperature drops below -10-15C. From time to time I use Tru-Oil but only at home, when the weapon is completely dry. I just renounced at my lever gun because it was not used enough anymore. It's great at driven hunts but I also go stalking 2-3 day/week and for that it was too heavy to carry. The option to transport 2 guns with me was not so great due to all kind of stupid regulation in our weapons law... Also, the manufacturer was not so careful with the details. It was OK

    Actually, when is snowing is not so cold It's enough to have something that will not let water to go trough and some wool clothes under that layer. And good shoes, those are the most important thing (I'm using Meindl right now, satisfied with cold/water protection but I'm not so much about their endurance). And no, is impossible to put some protection in situation like this (especially in the mountain areas). The stands of a driven hunt are not fixed all the time and we need to adjust the line depending on the movement of the animals from the last night - the snow is like an open book f

    I'm so happy that all the other problems of the society are long gone, and the justice is finally able to take down the "root" of all problems - language I will leave this here...

    Thank you for appreciation. This is the way I'm keeping the guns during the day in the red stag rut season (~2 weeks). Sure, extra maintenance is required when is fog or the air humidity is too high. I could not describe how eager I'm to buy the Mannlicher-Schoenauer mod. 1903 in 6.5x54MS, it is my dream rifle from a long period of time (blaming Hemingway for that). The difference between my stutzen and a Mannlicher is that mine has a Mauser action. The post WWII production from Brno tried to copy the successful model of Mannlicher (and they managed to do a decent job). At the first gen

    Nothing special with my Merkel, it's a tough old lady but is a pleasure to shoot.

    An old lady from '62 (Gebruder Merkel Suhl, 16/70) used for almost anything from quail to wild boar My favorite rifle for stalking deer/chamois - a Brno 22f from '49, 7x57 The most used rifle - A Voere LBW Take-Down, 9.3x62 This combination was so effective in both driven hunts and stalking that made me to sell this beauty - a Winchester replica made by Davide Pedersoli, .45-70 And I will buy something "new" in the next month - a Mannlicher-Schönauer mod 1903 in 6.5x54MS

    Thanks, guys The next one is similar with the recipe used for roe deer but I like this more because the backstrap is bigger - red deer backstrap 0. Be sure that you will not have any guests in that day, you don't want to share this with anyone outside your family. Preferable, you will make sure that your mother in law is also away. 2-300 km should be enough. 1. Clean the backstrap and rubb it with salt, dried thyme, pepper and smoked paprika. If is an old one, freeze it for a few days first 2. Let it rest in the fridge for 1-2 days, depending on the age of the animal.

    A bear female with only one cub - a rare view in the latest years, usually I see them with 2-3 cubs. 5 minutes later, 1 km away I was able to get close up to 70m but he was on the move to the forest. 20 minutes later...

    I f you will eat this blindfolded, you will ask for more On many occasions, I have not enough time to prepare the meat myself so I need to send it to a local butcher. He will prepare sausages and salami at a decent price (~1 £/kg) Everything was OK for a while, I obtained great products but it was not outstanding until I discovered a small 'secret'. Each time I'm sending a wild boar to the butcher, I'm also sending a sheep to be mixed in the meat for sausages. The result is incredible! I'm always preparing them with fresh rosemary or thyme and some smashed garlic.

    Yeah, driven hunting is thrilling, the only part that I don't like about it is the vegetation from the beginning of the season. Boars of 200-300 kg could be seen more often in the plains/hills areas, especially in autumn (when they are doing important damages to the crops) but the ones with great tusks are usually 120-170 kg. Thank you. I'm buying them at ~20E from an old man who has this hobby. I'm using epoxy for filling and fixing the tusks

    Wild boar testicles Well, this is not a common meal. Most hunters will just throw them away right after gutting the carcass but I will always keep them (even in the mating season) When I took the pictures, I was really hungry and, since this recipe is requiring some time, I also added a tenderloin 1. Clean the testicles and cut them in 2. In the end, they should look like this: 2. Cover the testicles with vinegar and let them rest for 1 hour (young male) up to 1 day (old male). Meanwhile, quickly prepare the tenderloin with some olive oil, thyme, garlic a

    As I already explained HERE, the main way of hunting wild boars in Romania is at driven hunts with dogs and beaters. This way of hunting is not appreciated by everyone because some people will consider this dangerous due to slugs and bullets that could do harm at big distances or due to the bears that could/will appear, especially in autumn, in mountains & hills areas (2/3 of the country). A bear is usually not representing a danger to someone because they are still afraid of humans (don't know for how long with this exaggerated protection!) but at a driven hunt he is harassed by the dog

    It's just me or the taste is better if the animal was hunted, prepared & cooked by myself? I prefer to keep the recipe simple if I have good quality meat but I will add some more spices when I have meat from males hunted during the rut season. I will start this topic with something simple - roebuck 1. Hunt a roebuck...or 2 2. Skin the animal and prepare the carcass 3. Cut and clean the backstrap. I prefer to cut each backstrap in 2. 4. Rub the backstrap with some salt, pepper, coriander (dried seeds), put it in a plastic bag and let it in t

    Unable to load all the images at once. The tail of the cow also remained there. The rest of it was dragged in a thick bush 200m away and we decided to avoid going there (obvious reasons :D) This was a hungry big boy and after his appearance he remained the only one feeding from the carcas
