Welcome to the 'hide. Amazing amount to learn here and some very helpful people too. What sort of rifles do you own?

 

[MK20]

Hello and welcome.

What are the gun regulations like in Croatia? It is a beautiful country and hopefully you can have lots of beautiful guns there as well.

Hello Yasherka, i use calibers like 308 win, 45-70 gov, 45 acp and 6.5x55 se. Mauser typ of guns european made.

 

[MK20]

Hopefully your Ammunition price and availability there is better than here in the USA. We are suffering a shortage now. Or at least those of us who have not stockpiled are. If you feel comfortable post some pictures of your rifles. Those Mausers should be some nice ones.

Hello MK20,
thanks for the compliments.
legal regulations are a little stricter than in the rest of the European Union. Without automatic weapons and without silencers. We expect liberalization in those poins as well.

 

[MK20]

We here in the US wish you luck in the liberalization. For me weapons are easy to buy. I can buy from another person for cash and the government requires no papers or notification. That freedom is amazing. For silencers we have a much more regulated process. We hope for liberalization there but it is unlikely to happen soon.

I visited the united states twice. 2007 and 2011. Both times in Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Have a friend in Saint Paul and the other in Chicago. Both times we come together because of steelhead flyfishing, me as a guest. Guy, the friend from Minnesota is also a hunter hunter,he told me about the gun regulations. It is much simpler than in Croatia. I am also a Reloader so my problems with ammo are less significant. But a lot of components come from the US so there is a shortage on the european market too.

Hello Alfmoonspace, thanks for the warm welcome. I am proud of the beauty of my country and Croatia is truly a pearl for boating tourism. There are good opportunities for hunting, big game fishing and flyfishing. Thats wat I like.

Greetings Igor ! From greater Seattle area.

I just retired and my wife and I have been to Crotia numerous times. We are seriously considering becoming mid to long term residents in/around Stari Grad or Korcula. Such beauty and such wonderful people.

Hello Threadcutter308, thanks for Your kind attention. Do You mean Stari Grad on the island of Hvar and Korcula as a second location? Whatever, the locations are beautiful.

Yes, Stari Grad on Hvar. Or, Korcula on the island of Korcula. We cannot decide, we love them both. Maybe 6 months in one location, then 6 months in the other. Possibly even Vela Luka

Met my wife in London. I get to Croatia a fair bit, more in non-Covid times. I really enjoy hunting wild boar with my 9.3x62

A nice chosen caliber for the purpose. A lot of my colleagues use 9.3x62 i have a good elaboration with 285grain Partition it works great.

Partition is good bullet. I personally like the Norma Oryx.

I use a 9.3x62 for driven boar and a 7x64 for stalking or high seat.

Scrummy

How long are the rifle barrels? Especially the 7x64

If my memory serves me the 9.3x62 is 600mm and the 7x64 is 26" (~66cm)

Me and my Croatian made Hellcat welcome you.

That's perfect. Today new rifles have unfortunately to short barrels.

I would first like to thank you for the welcome. Croatian made Hellcat is what? (Springfield Armory?)

I had the hs95 model as I served. It was the first handgun from HS, produced in the war, the Hellcat model in our country is known as the H11. It is an light years advancement.

I agree my friend, longer actions should have longer barrels.
