Those Martini Schuetzen's are something else - thanks for sharing those with us. I would definitely love to add one of these to my modest Martini collection.
I just love attention to off hand shooting. It is becoming a lost art. If I was to move to Europe, I would move to the Swiss Mountains to shoot off hand! Thank you for the exposure to rifles that I could not have ever have imagined!
Enjoy your videos very much. Scheutzen is still alive in America. Look up ASSRA American Scheutzen Shooting Association. Also I was consulted in the design of that sweet S&B Field Target scope it has amazing glass and wonderful low light visibility. I had a prototype but was made an offer I couldn't refuse and I sold it. As we collectors do. Ty and keep up the great work!
Very interesting rifles. For a little history the A- Square company, which holds the patent on the monolithic bullet you showed, was founded in 1979 and had 2 locations. One in South Dakota and the other one was in Bedford, Kentucky, a little town which I graduated high school in 1979. I have an Ithaca model 72 saddle rifle in .22 lr which I also love to shoot.
Ive used a similar shooting stance many times, worked well for me I absolutely love those martinis, beautiful examples!! The long barrels are my favorite
Very interesting video. I have a collection of Gun Digests from 1954 and these feature in the early ones. The barrels from what you have shown are octagonal and fluted and from my recollection (I’m nearly 80) were designed to minimise the heat waves generated from shooting when in the standing position. I actually have several cartons of new unfired Swiss 7.5 x 55 Norma brass Ref: 27511 Norma 7.5x55 factory loads give a 180 grain soft point bullet a MV of 2651 fps and muzzle energy of 2810 ft. lbs. which I thought was slightly superior to the standard 308? I reckon when you either handload or buy factory you will have excellent accuracy with the rifles you’ve kindly shown to us albeit perhaps a bit on the heavy side to lug around for regular hunting. Love your articles and videos and your unique presentation. Look forward to more.
I've been fascinated by Martini actioned target rifles for many many years. These are absolutely beautiful examples of the gunsmith's art and craft. I think my first encounter with a Martini target gun was at the gun club in Kingston, Ontario what could be 40 years ago. An elderly gentleman was shooting one in .22lr on the indoor range and was gracious enough to show me his rifle, explain the action to me and talk about its pros and cons. I've never owned one but regularly check the Canadian gun forum's buy and sell ads just out of interest. Often enough there are nice BSA made .22 Martinis for sale but I've not seen center fire schuetzen examples for sale. Thanks for another terrific video!!
Never owned a Martini when I was a kid my friend and NRA INSTRUCTOR WW2 VET had a Martini Cadet converted to .32-20 origionally a .310 cadet. Still like these and Martini rifles but never owned one. Interesting submission as is the norm.
Have seen only one actually! Beautiful firearms and very specific shooting competition quality! At extreme long range shooting are in a class by themselves!
@USOG it's telling that in a society where every able bodied citizen keeps a fully automatic military rifle in their home, the Swiss actually shoot very very few people.
@@warrengreen3217 Not really, the US is just a criminal background check. It’s just a background check, and not a permit application - it takes 5 minutes. The Swiss require permits for revolvers, pistols, and semi-automatic rifles. You apply with the local police. Concealed carry permits are sparingly issued.
Your love for rifles is refreshing. For year I have had the same since I bought my first Swiss K31 in the 1960’s. I also read Frank De Haase bock on the bolt action rifle which I highly recommend. Check the butt stock on a lot of the old rifle’s that has a bolt attaching it to the receiver. I’ve found lots of things in that hole, including $335.00 in silver cert. currency. A friend of mine found a gold piece one time😊
Beautiful Martini rifles. I had an original Zulu war Martini for a while and reloaded for it. I follow Simpson, and would like to get another one some day. I shot with Swiss matches from 89-98 while I lived in Germany. My two clubs had sister clubs in Switzerland. I have see these type of rifles at their gun shows, and in club members homes. Never seen any used in matches I was at. We mainly shot military G-1911, K-1911, K-31, and the modern full auto military issue. The Swiss treat their rifles as fine tools, and the good part of them have great barrels and are nice firearms.
I wonder if either of these rifles were fitted for fore end pommels used for offhand shooting? I have a German made Shutzen rifle chambered in 8.15x46R that s very similar to the rifles you have showcased in this video. My rifle came with a matching fore end pommel for 200 yard score shooting contests.
As always, an exceptional review on a rare and unusual firearm. Thank you! Martini rifles are great. Once you shoot one and the the remarkable difference between them and typical North American firearms are very visible and apparent.
Thank you for your kind words - these are outstanding. Here is a company that makes them. I'll order a 30-30 one of these days. www.damko-usa.com/damko-modern-martini-rifle-c-54_56/
I might have to experiment with a white reflector on my front sight. It might be interesting to put a reflector into the front sight hood of my german air rifle. Maybe the hood intentionally makes it dark! The dark post does work at times in contrast. Hmmm... I think about the partridge sight sometimes on my target pistol. It's fat and black for a reason but I think a swipe of bright paint would help me.
These are great looking rifles Mike, and now I'm looking forward to seeing you shoot with these soon here on YT. I have an older Martini rifle in 25-27 cal. ( because I can't find or buy this size caliber here in Canada ) and waiting and waiting to have is converted it to a .22 Hornet, if ever the dies get in the hands of my Gunsmith.
Reg Sparkes: Hello. I posted a reply hours ago but it is not showing on the page. Are you sure it was a 25-27 Caliber rifle? I looked in some cartridge/ammo books that I own and do not see such a cartridge listed. Converting a .25 caliber rifle to a .22 Hornet would also require a new/different barrel. Instead of going down, maybe you should have the gunsmith convert your rifle to a .25-20 Winchester or a .25-35 Winchester. You can find the ammo and/or the empty brass to reload your own ammo with.
@@gusloader123 Yes it was. The rifle and ammunition came from England many many years ago. , but where exactly I have no clue. The only name visible on this rifle is 'W.R. Pape.' We've been 'down just about every road' imaginable to have find ammunition for this rifle as it is/was. Now we have decided to do the conversion as my comment above states. Thanks for your comment and suggestions.
Mike, thanks for showing that Ithaca 49 that I mentioned in my comment on the Martini-Jeffries. It looks pretty fancy with the gold trigger and hammer and deluxe wood. Was that factory or modified? Those two Swiss schuetzengewehren are totally awesome.
Mike - thank you for sharing those wonderful rifles with us! I never imagined a fluted octagon barrel. On the first rifle, can the rear sight move fore and aft? It looks like there’s a sort of dovetail.
Look at the channel Bloke on the range, for what goes on in Switzerland, he has some collection of weapons. I used to shoot a BSA Martini when I did indoor 25m .22 shooting.
If u rightfully enjoy this purist form of rifle sport you would probably enjoy 50 meter pistol. Other than the tools and lesser distance to target there's many parallels. Great presentation!
Would I noticed and I find very interesting is it looks like the rear sight is on a slide and you can slide it forward or backward to increase or decrease the site radius? Was I seeing that right? If so why wouldn't you just want to have the longest site radius and for what reason would you want it shorter? Or is it just for preference for a certain person's eyes? I just found it interesting. Those are beautiful interesting rifles. Thank you Mike
I own a a Martini Endfeild that had pretty bad I think lead corrosion from I assume cordite and the "headspace" was off. My father had it converted to 7.62x54r not sure if it had a new barrel or they cut and rechambered the old as the bore is the same size. He also had a rough SMLE converted to the same caliber and have a T99 Arisaka with a chamber insert so it can fire 7.62x39 But I have shot cases of surplus steel .54r out of the Martini. I hope the new manufacture in the US uses CHF barrels and has a millitary stocked version. In Switzerland you still get a sig 5.56 assult rifle but you don't get given the tin of 50 rounds of 5.56 anymore. A few times a year and especialy 1 time a year everyone has a refresher so everyone is carrying a assult rifle with a folding stock and they go to shooting range. It's taken so seriously that some ranges the bullets will fly over the highway but they know no one will mess around.
If you liked these. A couple of Zimmerstützens would not stand out in your collection, of course. ;) I saw a couple of 'm at my favourite gunshop. A .22lr (or perhaps short or 6mm flobert) one with a Martini bolt. And a 4mm one, with the usual loading mechanism in the front.
Thoes like kinda like the German Shotssun rifles ( how ever you spell that being a dyslexic i have enough problems spelling English stuff) Which I was just reading about the German rifles to day in the deer stand in gundigesst 2021 I think
Do you know anything about the CZ rifle recall? If so could you do a video on what you know about the CZ 600 series recall? I am really not sure what is going on.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns OR .303 British, no worries about half-pie rim-machining causing magazine jams. Also means that you can use 7.62x39 sporting bullets for short range shots.
I've always found the weirder schutzen rifles to be aesthetically offensive for some reason. Its a marvel of swissness to put so much effort and expense into creating something so grotesque.
It's funny, I have exactly the opposite reaction to the aesthetics of these rifles. I think they are beautiful works of art, amongst the most pleasing rifles I've ever seen.
I have just the action of a martini henry ,believe its model 3? With shorter lever,split steel pinned sure like to know what thread they used,I'd make a spotter 30-30 or 303.
Competition target rifles are often highly modified. Target shooters will do to the rifle what they need to fit their needs. It is more uncommon to find them unmodified.
Good, interesting video Mike! Quality rifles made by men who did great work. No plastic or pot metal. Luuuuve a looooonnng barrel on a rifle. I have seen many rifles such as those for decades in old "American Riflemen" magazines and Shooter's Bible and Gun Digest and "Rifle", and other publications. Martini, Martini-Henry, Ballard, Sharps, Stevens number 52, and others. I like the idea of a good target rifle ,,, BUT the torture device sticking out of the back of the stock seems beyond bad. I would imagine the recoil after 2 or 3 rounds would probably leave cuts, scratches on your arm/shoulder area and make shooting miserable. Plus, not every human has the same arm & shoulder structure.
Some are strange design; I doubt they’re good in practice or not. Just as watched movie; if we have those guns, with 99.999999...% possibility will be shot to death by government. Anyway, thank you for sharing, highly appreciated.
