  • We're back for the latest instalment of our #HuntingMagicMoments series, as Owen goes out to Austria in search of Chamois! On this hunt, we put the new Merkel K5 through a practical field test. With a super slim action, weight of just 2.3kg, and the choice of 7x56R calibre we had the perfect rifle setup for the mountains.
    Enjoy!

    Really nice looking rifle and impressive pics. Caliber must be the 7x65R instead of 7x56R which does not exist as far as I know. ;-) Waidmannsheil, Mark (Austrian chamois hunter and guide)

    You guys set the bar high with those videos. Great job! I guess the conditions were testing but more for the camera gear than for the rifle. Congratulations Owen, that's a very nice chamois. Keep it up guys!

    Awesome video Owen. Well made. Hats off
    The sorrounding reminds me of my own hunting ground. Steep hill slopes and alpine landscape where we hunt reindeer.
    Unfortunantely we don't have Gemse in Norway as theys seems to be a real challenge to hunt and are on my list :-)
    ATB to you and thumbs up.

    Waidmanns Heil Owen! Well done! May „Kipplauf“ is on the way to become an English word like “Rucksack”. Great filming and perfect music! But you should join the boys training to have better breathing after some steps 😜

    I'm thinking of inviting my old man for a trip of our lives; Chamoir in europe, Sika in Scotland/Ireland, Stag in Scotland or Kaparthian - i cant decide what to do....

    @mysterioanonymous3206 5 месяцев назад +1

    description says 7x56R... it surely is 7x65r however. anyways, nice rifle. a little too easy though with that shooting stand there, lol.

    • @CervusUK
      @CervusUK  5 месяцев назад

      Apologies the rifle calibre used for this particular hunt was actually 7x65R. As this video was filmed 4 years ago we were mistaken with the calibre we have now which is the .308w. 👍🏼 Definitely NOT easy just because there is a little mountain stand to view from. Chamois have incredible eye sight, so stalking up and into a shop table position was actually a real challenge. Problem is, the reality of mountain hunting is never truly shown through video, you have to experience it for yourself when you are, excuse the term, blowing out your arse and then having to focus and slow the breathing down for a successful long range shot.

    Awesome rifle but lame video. Walking around in rain and snow and then cut to shooting from some kind of shelter. What is that?

    • @CervusUK
      @CervusUK  2 года назад

      Sorry you feel that way. But some shelter? We had been stalking up a mountain side all day and found shelter from the elements in a “hochsitz”, a traditional wooden highseat that is placed on the mountainside to give you better a shooting position on the passing game. We were grateful for that little bit of traditional alpine comfort to give us best opportunity for a safe long distance shot on our chamois. 👍🏽
