Thanks treblig,

indeed we love the classic Mauser system. This one was built by Günter Reetz in Suhl. Interesting is the caliber, .375 Hoelderlin. Yes , you read right, Hoelderlin not Holland & Holland.This cartridge was designed by my friend Claus Otterbein (who owns this rifle) for hunting in Africa with a german cartridge. The 9,3x62 is not allowed in some african states, so he made the .375 Hoelderlin rimless for bolt rifles as well as the Hoelderlin .375 R for Double Rifles. It is based on the 8x68S, because it should fit the normal Mauser System. The rifle above has the Argentino Mauser 1909 system, which is even a bit shorter than the Mauser Normal System. I hope, neyt year the Mauser will meet the right buffalo in Africa!

Cheers,
Wolfgang
