Hi my friend,
It was done in an argentinean action but (I am not an expert) one from a small replacement bunch that Mauser sent to Argentina that I was told were really good. At least that was what I was told but who knows.. :roll:
The barrel is a Shilen. Here we use many germans barrels mostly Lothar Walther but this was an american one.
The stock was taken from an uruguayan walnut, they are not indigenous from here, just like the eucalypthus, so I don't know the origin of that specific specie, but the tree was cut here.
I have changed the scope and put on it a Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 Zenith model with german n°4 reticle.
I bought 6 boxes of Remington Premiuim ammo with 140 grains Swift A- Frame bullets, so I am ready... :cowboy:
I am like crazy to try it, I am daydreaming with the next red stag rut in Argentina. I know it's enough but sometimes when hunting there is not such thing as a perfect broadside shot and I know the 270 will be on the light side. this is the only concern I have about it, but I will love to bag a red stag with that rifle.
They are much smaller than elk, a big red can reach 250 kilos max. (500 lbs?).
How much an elk can weight ??
Regards
