    Excellent video Matt and fine shooting by your good self, as always.

    I've had some good results at 20 yards with mine but you showed the bolt action repeaters can successfully hit targets placed even further away!

    I noticed your magazine had a couple of notches and mine has also been adapted this way, as the Haenel 33 Senior has a deeper forend than the Junior and 49a/310, so a magazine with a standard notch won't fit.

    I'll have to get mine out for a play!

    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    Thanks John,
    we were very surprised by the 33 & 49a hitting cans at 35yds. Who’d have thought?
    Yes I notched the magazine out following Vic at Proteks supplied diagram and it works well. I believe he has an original 33 mag and took the measurements from that.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Yep, Paul O'D did the same for mine. I have an original 8 shot Senior mag but unfortunately it is damaged. Paul made a great job of machining a notch into a more recently manufactured 8 shot mag for me and it works fine.
