Three Krieghoff DRs have taken part in this hunt: .375 H&H, .470 NE and my new .500 NE.








I managed to hunt nice boar



He attacked me. After shoot he was rotated at 180 deg. and pushed 1 meter back! You should see that!


Greetings from Russia to all DRSS members! We are all together!

Nice boar! I'm down in Ukraine now but I haven't had a chance to get out shooting with my friends yet..

Great pics.

I like the across the chest rifle sling. Who makes it?

Thanks!

As I know, there is no problem to go to boar hunt in Ukraine.

Roman, that is a fantastic trophy boar. Congratulations.

How was he hunted? Stalking, or from a stand?

Here in the US we have a slang term for making a U-Turn while driving a car.
To make a U-Turn is to "Flip a Bitch"
I don't know where the roots of this vernacular are, but I think we can apply this slang term to your boar's behavior after you shot it!

Congrats, Roman! Nice boar. Those doubles do a job at BOTH ends!

How cool is it that these Russian guys can share

with us their double rifle hunting experiences!

The 'net' is a good thing when used right. I'll

submit that the day will come when some of us

go over there to hunt with them, and or they

come over here and hunt with us, and or we all
meet in AFRICA!!! Note the British made

ROVER in the 3rd picture.

Who needs Africa?
We can all meet in the middle -- at Sara Palin's place!
She CAN see russia from her living room after all, can't she..? That and she's SEXY!

I think that "sling" is the neatest thing!
Peter.

Congratulations Roman, great Boar!

It seems the Russian DRSS is growing. It would be nice to get together for a boar hunt someplace! Again good show!

Roman,

Is it legal to reload in Russia? If you are, is it easy to obtain reloading components?

OK since we have completly corupted this thread here she is in a pair of jeans. The photo is not good but it was taken with my phone.



Back to the Krieghoff Great gun for these boar. The .500 is a little heavy but surly it's intended purpose is DR in Africa.

Good going Roman.

Thanks, guys!

It was collective hunt, when some hunters are standing in shooters line, others - are pushing animals with dogs.

Reload is very difficult in Russia, we have to order components from USA, but there are many restrictions from US Gov to send components to Russia. But we do it, because 1 cartridge in .500 costs 35 USD!

Our DRs are intended for Africa, now we just had fun and some trainings before meeting buff or ele

Krieghoff is very popular in Russia, great double rifles, nice price

Very nice boar....I am also pleased that you russians are allowed to buy modern hunting rifles...krieghoffs are very nice rifles...

Is it much hazzle for an "ordinary Joe" to buy a hunting rifle these days...?

Are you allowed to own handguns...?

Best wishes for Christmas from Norway...

It is easy to buy shotguns (only 5 to one person). We can buy rifles only after 5 years of owning a shotgun (only 5 to one person too), and procedure is more difficult.

No handguns.

Best wishes to you too!

Very Nice!!! Thanks for sharing.

$35 per cartridge Hope that's not where we're headed with the current administration.
Bears watching.

Congratulations, Roman!

Roman,

How about some close up pictures of that chest sling, with and without the rifle in the harness? Would like to see how that works.

Roman

You mention you buy reloading components in the US.

You can't buy everything you need in Europe ?

I would have thought most items were available in Europe ?


After all, you have Norma, SmartReloader, RWS, W Romey etc etc, I can't think of much you can't get in Europe.

Great Boar Roman. Thanks for sharing your hunt.

All,

The God's honest truth is that my WIFE

STRONGLY resembles Sara Palin, no joke!

AND

I think 500N has a good question regarding the

Russians obtaining reloading equipment from Europe.

Jack:

I think I'm going to need you to post a photo to prove that. That, or send me a PM with attached photo so I can validate - I promise that said shared photo will never be posted by me anywhere, on any website.

Roman:

It is great to see another successful hunt. The DRSS has a website, which I try to update as often as possible, and would love to add your Russian "chapter" with pictures and a description of your hunt.

Check OUR website out at www.DoubleRifleShootersSociety.com

Happy holidays, and God bless...

Paul

Roman, Looks like you Russians know how to have fun! Great pictures!

That leather chest sling has my attention as well, looks like a neat accessory!

B5J, Can she see Russia from NYC?

Sara looks good but give here a southern draaaaw and she would look waaay better. She sounds too much like my yankee wife as is!!!

I wish our Russian friends the very best success in getting proper handloading supplies to their benches from ANYWHERE in the world!
Over on NitroExpress someone was talking about having a US post-office box and a 'mail forward' service.
Have components mailed to US mailbox, then simply forward overseas!
Makes things simple, and makes it quick...


On S. Palin look-alikes, (and a good southern woman's 'twang') bring them on!
I promise we can find some way to accommodate their 'natural sense of hospitality' !!

Perhaps they can join us up in Alaska at the "halfway there" gathering I'm pitching for.
I can just imagine the possibilities...



Cheers
Tinker

Thank you, friends!

I will ask my friend from S.Peterburg make some photos of sling and will post them later.

500N, look at MidWay Suomi, and their terrible prices in euros It doesn't make any sense to reload with that prices We buy powder and primers from Finland, but everything other - from US much cheaper even with delivery.

Paul, I'm trying to make Russian branch of DRSS, we are making first steps

Yes, I know Midway is expensive in Europe.

Have a look at www. smartreloader .com
(I have broken the link)

I can't imagine trying to order and import reloading components from the USA into Russia. The government bureaucracy to actually order and get everything delivered must be terrible.

European prices for a lot of merchandise is very high. Sometimes the quality is much better so, it makes sense to spend more. However, on identical items the price is still much higher then the USA even when you remove the VAT (Value Added Tax).

Best Regards,
Sid

She must be a natural blonde. Can't imagine anyone being dumber than she is.

But seriously, where'd that sling come from?

Here is the belt. Very handy for hunting, where animals are put out to you. Sometimes we have to wait for the beast to one hour and at the same tired hands. The manufacturer is not known.

Bulldog63,
Thank you for giving us the photograph of that belt. I'm going to start making one for myself today. I assume that there is a piece of metal, bent to shape, inside the hooked piece that cradles the gun?

Yes,there is a piece of metal.

When our Russian friends Roman and Bulldog posted these photos of their hunt, I really admired the sling that the one man was wearing. I finally got around to making the 60 mile trip to my closest Tandy Leather store a few days ago. Here are a few photos of my rendering of that sling. I used 10 ounce shoulder leather which is considerably heavier than the one in the photo, but it will last several lifetimes. The nicest use that I foresee for this sling is the carry that I'm showing in the two photos. It will be darned handy when standing for a long period of time,carrying a heavy rifle like this 11 pound .450 #2 NE, gun at the ready.







Spasibo gentlemen!
