  • New from South Africa

    My name is Oscar Basch and I am from sunny South Africa. I am from German decent, my great grandfather hails from Breslau, Prussia.
    My connection with the forum stems from my love of the 7x64 caliber. I was lucky enough to obtain a genuine Brenneke made in 1959 a couple of years ago. Will post pictures some time. For some 22 odd years I also owned and used a 1937 Type A Commercial Oberndorf Mauser in 9,3x62. This rifle I sold to a collector some years ago. Loved it, a wonderful caliber, but my interest turned toward wingshooting and I felt that someone else should become the custodian of such a remarkable rifle.

    Looking forward to the company of like minded enthusiasts.

    BTW. We leave on a three day springbok hunt in our Northern Cape province next week Wednesday. My 7x64 Brenneke will do it's magic once again.

    Oscar,
    Welcome, we are happy to have you with us and are looking forward to the pictures, be sure to include those of the springbok hunt. The 7x64 is a great, world famous cartridge; that most Americans are not familiar with, except those of us that like German guns. The 9.3x62 was also a great rifle, too bad you didn't keep both.
    Mike
