Is this a Johan Sigott drilling? - 05/17/17 09:14 AM
Hello.
Now it's time to make my first post here.
I recently purchased a Ferlach hammer drilling without knowing it's producer. The drilling was made in 1931, and it's chambered for 20/70 and 7x72R. Ammunition is no problem for a long time, I've got a die set and plenty of emtpy cartridges.
The scope, a 4 x Kahles Hubertus, was probably fittet after some time, because the "Vienna snap fitting" is cutting away half of the producers name on top of the barrels. Now it says "OTT Ferlach". From this, I belive the gun is made by Johan Sigott, but I can't make the numbers confirm it. Can any one of you experts tell me if i'm right?
68cm barrels.
Typical engraving. The stock was broken one time in the past. The right hammer has also been replaced.
Combination of dollhead and greener bolt. I have seen this combination on another Sigott combination gun. Either on this forum, or at nitroexpress. The diopter misses the insert. I will make a replacement part, but do anyone know what the proper diameter of the peek hole should be?
Waterboard:568.31 Barrel:300.31.150.60.
I have got some different reloadingdata for this cartridge, but I'm not sure what powder I should go for. I can choose between Norma 201, Norma 202, and Norma 204. The 201 and 202 is in combination with a 120 or 140 graqin bullet, while 204 is with the 160grains bullet.
I will be using this gun for hunting roe deers, typical up to 70m range. I will test shoot with 140 grains bullet. The gun is quite old, and I would like to avoid a unnecessary high preassure peak. So the question is what powder would you recomend me to go for?
