Boar - Mauser 8mm

[scrumbag]

You say, you want to shoot pig with it, so why not just ask for that on your application/variation, it is' done on the mainland for the guys who want to go on safari trips with 500 express ect''

BC,

If he goes to France, what his cert says is irrelevant.

But customs/police can check his cert to find that his reason for travel is NOT covered on the conditions.

I'd be tempted to drop an Aimpoint on it

One of the surprising things that jumped out as "different" when I started attending the gun auctions in Sweden was the number of very VERY expensive double rifles and combination guns, all top end quality with the best wood you've seen & hand engraving, which had an Aimpoint red dot on them.
Obviously they'd had use in driven game in close range forest environments....a case of sod the aesthetics, get them bowled over!!
Also explains why such a firm as Aimpoint originated in Sweden in the first place....

Only used mine in a bowling pin shoot at the local club. Having used iron sights & standard scopes for decades I was surprised how much faster the red dot was to pick up by comparison...

Fair point. I put a red dot on a sporter mauser I didn’t want to drill.

Works well on pigs.

Scrummy

Still don’t think it matters. Not U.K. territory, U.K. law doesn’t apply.

Aye, methinks I will give it a go!

I have shot most of my driven boar with 7mm then moved up to 308 recently and both are very capable for driven. However, on my last trip I tried out a 8x57 R8 at the range and loved it. I later shot a good sized kieler at distance with a different 8x57 rifle and it folded on the spot.

The 8x57 is a very low recoil hard hitting and perfect for driven so I will be applying for a variation ready for the next season

The best driven game shot I've ever seen in person used an 8x57R O/U
