My dad gave me his 30 06 last year.

I used this rifle to hunt my 1st kudu in 1996 and since then quite a few animals have fallen to this rifle.

It is build on a K98 action by Musgrave South Africa.

I have a sound suppressor fitted by Truvelo.
Its got a Burris Black Diamond scope on and Cladwell 6 - 13" bipods on.

A friend gave me 2 boxes of old Norma 180gr factory ammunition.

The past Saturday I took the 6 inch gong out to 250 meters and had a bit of fun...

I am now working up loads on 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tips.

Am also looking for 150gr Nosler E - Tips.

Anybody using E Tips ?

Looks like a nice accurate rifle! And now a piece of history from South Africa!

I had the opportunity to sight in the scope at Tuvelo.

The shooting tunnel is 70m long.

I called the 2nd shot low.

This is what the 180gr's gave me.



Will be shooting with the Musgrave regularly from now on.

Nice.
I used to have a Musgrave K98 'Std'. They also made a 'Deluxe' and a 'light'. I had mine glass bedded/floated, barrel cut back to 22" and installed a Timney trigger and parker Hale 45deg safety myslef.

It was a very accurate and reliable rifle that took quite a few head. Wish I still had it!
