Title: Angela's New Toy
Post by: AngelFace on April 16, 2009, 01:58:33 PM: Put my new gun together today.
Put the scope on and sighted it in.

CZ 550 30-06 Luxus w/set trigger
Nikon Prostaff w/BDC 3-9x50
Warne High Rings

The husband started sighting it in, but look at my shot.
Shot really nice. I really like this gun.
Can't wait to shoot my first Wild Boar over here in Germany =)

Post by: addicted on April 16, 2009, 02:12:35 PM: It shot pretty nice. The set trigger's over here are cool. the pictures dont do the fine wood stock much justice, the luxus model's are sweet.

I think I'll end up shortening the stock for her a little bit.

Post by: Ray on April 16, 2009, 02:13:10 PM: Good looking shootin' iron. I always preferred the wood stocks.

Is that rifle the mauser style like the 527? I have a 527 with the set trigger (which I find not necessary since the normal trigger is just fine) and it is a great shooter.
Good luck on the hogs.

I have never shot pigs but sure want to, looks like a ton of fun. I was in Germany from 76-78, had a great time there, we ran into those pigs all the time, those little piggys are mean. We were on roving guard duty at a large ammo dump in the middle of the night, nothing but dark between the bunkers, a herd of those pigs came crashing thru the brush at us, bad mistake on their part, 4 m-16s full auto, scared the crap out all of us. sorry to ramble. good luck with that sweet new gun and kill one for all of over here.

geez louise be careful...thats a real pretty stock as is. maybe you could buy one that is not a lux and shorten that one...save this one for a sunny day or something.

thats an idea. It's still in debate. she says she doesnt have problems with it but you can see her strain a little.

Post by: smdave on April 18, 2009, 10:16:41 PM: I say if it is going to be her gun, and she is going to keep it for a long time have the stock cut down to fit her. Of course if you do not cut it that will make it easier for me to shoot it. :chuckle:

Title: Re: Angela's New Toy
Post by: Ray on April 19, 2009, 11:11:36 AM: I'm sure it is a good class. I was just having fun.

its an american rod and gun club in germany. they do zero gunsmithing and their prices suck. there are some cool gun shops out here though.

angela did shoot her first fox this morning, but I'll let her post about it.

Post by: AngelFace on May 02, 2009, 01:21:39 PM: Here are a few pictures of the Fox that I shot on Friday May 1st. Picked up my rifle at about 6pm on Thursday. Went out that night for Wild Boar and saw nothing. Went out the next morning, saw a few Hares and this Fox running around. About 70 yards away, had to change windows in the hunting stand, then shot and dropped it. My first kill here in Germany. I am pretty proud of it. Some people we hunt with have been trying for over a year to shoot a fox. I shot mine the first day I was really hunting and in 12 hours of having my gun. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: billythekidrock on May 02, 2009, 01:38:02 PM: Congrats!
But I have to ask...why the "dainty" touching? Grab that sucker and give it a hug. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Angela's New Toy
Post by: smdave on May 02, 2009, 11:09:16 PM: Yeah whats with the barely touching. Glad you got to shoot something, now get up some deer pictures.

Post by: Jekemi on June 18, 2009, 05:07:51 PM: What are the gun laws in Germany? Where will you hunt wild boar?
Title: Re: Angela's New Toy
Post by: addicted on June 18, 2009, 11:24:41 PM: the german law states that you can have as many guns as you have a need for. unfortunately home protection isnt considered a "need". a jagdschein(german hunting license) and a german sports shooting license do count as a need. that is the base line. there are several other picky laws as well but over all it's not too hard to get firearms.

we hunt for boar in a few places around kaisersautern. i shot my first boar out of the seat that she shot this fox.
