Finally joined the fold…..Stutzen Lovers only….😍

Behold…the “new to me” Mauser Model 77 Bavarian Carbine
.243
S&B 6x42
Swing off mounts (Apel I think?…but please correct if you know better )
Makers case

Massive thanks to @SDC7x57 for having the patience of a saint and being prepared to hold this for me whilst my renewal was being processed. (D&C 15month backlog )

So a few days of fettling ahead and am itching to hear this beauty barking out in the field.

It will sit alongside my little Mauser 201 .22LR both truly quality rifles with a level of finish that is hard to find off the shelf these days. The 60degree bolt throw locks up like a bank vault. The all metal magazine locks up and offers smooth rattle free operation…. I know Stutzen rifles aren’t in high demand but it doesn’t concern me as this one is a keeper

I’ve been tryin* to upload a video but alas I can’t seem to get it to upload

I’m in the market for a nice period leather sling if anyone has a nice one they want to part with

If you ever decide to sell ill have it. SDC7x57 is a gent for holding it that long in todays climate

Looks great, congratulations on acquiring such a fine looking rifle.

For a sling you can get a length 1 1/2” bridle leather and a couple of brass Chicago bolts. Just cut it to the right length and you have really neat smart looking sling.

Beautiful rifle - there's just something about a Stutzen - very jealous…

I am tempted to make one…I do a fair bit of leather work with my BARVUS blades work but don’t have any suitable material at the moment.

That’s another rainy day project that

I know there’s many horror stories but The seller was kind enough to have the rifle gone over thoroughly and test shot

5 under MOA from a Stutzen with 100g Norma SP….that’ll do

It will be my Sunday best/summer outfit…..my workhorses are a different subject matter entirely

Lovely. I tried to by one via Gun Trader at the beginning of the year, only to learn the RFD selling it had failed to take it down as it had been sold!

Enjoy it.

Oh no the Stutzen itch has started again.
That is a really nice rifle.

 

[billy_boyle_2010]

Wow that is a thing of beauty.

The 77 was known for a very short bolt throw I think ?

Enjoy!
