I bought this yesterday

Can't wait to get it home...once I have taken it to the range I'll post an update.

It's always nice when you get something new, looks like a nice rifle

I've got to wait until Saturday to get my sticky mitts on my latest acquisition

snayperskaya, what have you bought?

Tovarich, you make it sound like it is "Little Olga" the latest blow-up doll from Russia

Good looking Gun, made with proper materials..

I've got one of them; bought it in 1968 and still have it.

If your Voere serves you as well as mine has you won't be sorry. I paid £40 for a used one in 1973 from Finch Feeds (Pet food and guns) in Hastings - I still have it and use it regularly. I use it for club gallery comps, plinking vermin etc.

They have an excellent barrel and the facility to lock the bolt and shoot it as a single shot. The trigger is poor and creepy by todays standards and the plastic trigger housing looks and feels, well - plastic.

You will need to keep an eye on the magazine, especially out in the field. If resting on a post or some such, it's easy to knock the mag release and spare mags are hard to find.

I have tweeked the springs on my rifle so it works reliably with sub-sonic HP's and, with a HP moderator it looks unfashionably long, but I couldn't guess how many rounds I've put through it.

Two or three years ago it started to play up a bit and I found that the recoil spring had collapsed a little - I emailed Voere in Austria, I told them I'd had the rifle for 40 years but they still sent me a new set of springs, free of charge.

Here's mine temporarily assigned to night duty:

It arrived this morning



Shall return with an update. I have three magazines as well.

I have three mags too - It's taken around 35 years to accumulate them. :)
