Brought my new custom VZ24 M98 9.3x64B up to the family property for a test run this weekend.
Shoots pleasantly open sighted with Woodleigh 320grn bullets at fifty paces.






Note the targets are being raised on the hardwood backstop Roll Eyes .


Sights set for the six o'clock hold. I will file them down as it prefer them to hit dead on.

From where the action and barrel meet to the tip of the Buffalo horn tip it measures at nine and a quarter inches (23.5cm) which with the way I hold the fore-end is about 3" longer than I need it.

That's gorgeous!! . I like the bead to cover the group also and is how I filed mine on my 64. What velocity are you getting with the 320s ? Looked like a 24" ? barrel? I like the engraving. Just a really beautiful rifle you have there. Tho mine is set up similar yours is WAY PRETTIER!!


Phil Shoemaker : "I went to a .30-06 on a fine old Mauser action. That worked successfully for a few years until a wounded, vindictive brown bear taught me that precise bullet placement is not always possible in thick alders, at spitting distances and when time is measured in split seconds. Lucky to come out of that lesson alive, I decided to look for a more suitable rifle."

Yes, a beautiful rifle in an exotic calibre. Expensive to feed, I should think.

Lucky enough to have some well priced RWS kit so with the fact that the brass should last quite some time, this should not be a problem.If it is a problem it would likely mean I have used it a lot and that would be a problem I could live with. tu2

Nice looking rifle. I really like the 9.3x64mm - will do "all" that one needs a medium bore to do.

Can't tell from the pictures - which front sight did you use on your rifle. Really like the profile.

Once the initial outlay for dies, shell holder and brass is complete. The 9.3×64 Brenneke is not much more expensive to shoot than the 62 . Brass is a little more but it's not like a prairie dog rifle. So far mine is extremely cost effective. Requiring only 1 shot for every animal I've shot with it.

I like the H&H style sight too.

I take it a .625 muzzle with a 1:12 twist?

Looks slim and trim. Have you worked up a 286 grain load yet?

I do prefer this ivory moon sight more though.

Not sure about the twist but it is a Walther barrel.
I have heaps of 320grn bullets so I'm not sure if I will bother with the 386grners.

Filing the flat angle on the front brass bead really helps illuminate the front brass bead.....not sure "why" they don't come this way......nice set up!

You can concentrate on three different objects at 3 different distances at the same time? I am impressed.

I gave my opinion on you filing the front sight but deleted my post after being insulted by the poster above.

Well in short that may make it more difficult to see your target.An ``illuminated`` target on the other hand is the best thing one can wish for.If you still wish to do that to your bead then it will only be brighter if the sun is above you.It will make it more difficult to see if it is to the side.

Filing it at slight angle, gives the oppurtunity to gather light from the most likely source most of the time ( the sun).

A round bead is already filed on every angle.

Best to file and then polish it!

And there lies the problem. Reflection from a radius makes it less accurate to align the actual sight.
