[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2297068, member: 10755"] I am also half German, my family were from a very small town in Northern Germany. They emigrated in the 1850’s to Australia. 3 brothers. There are lots of relatives as you can imagine in all that time. My first rifle I bought myself when I was 16 was a sporterised Carl Gustav Mauser ‘96 in 6.5x55 Swede. I shot military comp rifle with that gun. For a 7.25” twist 4 groove military barrel, it was surprising how superbly that rifle shot. It would put the military match ammo we used, a 139g Spitzerglosch into one ragged hole with 5 shots @ 100. We shot 200 metres, 300 metres and 500 metres from various positions, standing, prone and sitting or kneeling. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
