Thread: Most Expensive Rifle in NZ

I have no problem with the 6.5mm calibre, but the Creedmoor was developed to fit the AR15 platform, not a double rifle. 6.5x55 would have instantly elevated it in my opinion. The choice to scope a double speaks volumes about the gunsmith and their ability to regulate both barrels to shoot to the same point of impact. Serious skills involved in that.

Yea I guess it does. Told my mate that a deer wont know the difference between that and an old .303. He reackoned I was missing the point.........I spose I am

Apparently it's not too hard as long as the barrels are diverging at the regulation range (meaning that they need to come together at the regulating range). I'm told that if they are already crossing in front f the regulation range that can be a lot more pesky to sort out, in effect the legs need to be spread a bit more then the things adjusted back. Sounds really easy!

Actually I believe that the pictured rifle is a single shot with a German Set Trigger. It appears to me to be their round body model that they now also make in Titanium.

Yes it is indeed a Kipplauf ( elbow action ) Stutzen ( carbine ) which make its chambering in 6.5CM ( a rimless case ) a crime

Kipplauf should ( in my opinion ) only be made for Rimmed and Flanged cartridges

There does seem to be a trend in Europe towards outrageous walnut stocks with no checkering
Intended to show off the wood which gives away that they are unlikely to be hunted with.

Purely a status symbol

This is what a kipplauf stock should look like with better lines. But also lacks checkering



And an Ischler Stutzen. Also lacks checkering which renders it useless


Both these rifles by Franzoj who also makes the Titanium and Carbon Fiber Kipplauf which is cheaper at €40,000
