Another rifle in my favorite German caliber - 11.2x72 Schuler

I just added a 4th 11.2x72 Schuler caliber rifle to the family. Although this one is marked "A.Jansen", it is likely made by Schuler.
This is one wonderful rifle. Hope to have a field test later this week.

Nice

Field test to follow

Well, back from the range today ... although many are skeptical about this cartridge. I once again proved that you can get a 2400+ fps with the 11.2x72 Schuler cartridge.

How was the recoil with that very droppy stock? Did it punch your cheek?

Stock design made recoil straight back - never touched my cheek. But, recoil was severe in such a light rifle weighing only 8-3/4 pounds. By comparison, the Immman/Muller weighs 11 pounds and its recoil is very tolerable with the same 2400+ fps load.

I'm quite sure in Hatari times, Harold Wolf did an article on the 11.2x72, and a picture of a rifle just like yours.

Yes, it was issue no. 11 --- and at the end of the article it shows a picture of a "Jansen/Schuler" export rifle.
