  • Voere -- a German/Austrian manufacturer that made the Titan Rifle and the Shikar, or Fohrenbach. Here we have a close look at their similarities and differences to learn about these well-made German rifles. The Voere Titan even has a hidden secret that I'll "unveil" for you. Do you like the Voere Titan best, or the Voere Shikar? Let me know in the comments. I'll reveal which rifle I think is best as we learn about the Titan and Shikar together.

    Bob Kleinguenther worked for Voere. The K14 is the Shikar Action and the K15 is the Titan Action. He was also a major design contributor to Roy Weatherby as he brought Bob to the USA.

      Thank you - I had no idea! I had a couple of K-15 Instafires though - and remember his last name. Smart fellow - Kleingunther. I like the K14 - elegant design and clean lines in the action. Of course many would say the K15 is the better gun. Weatherby was lucky to have Kleingunther's contribution.

    This has become my favourite firearms channel these days. I love wood-stocked rifles and deep-blued steel and especially bolt-action rifles with some class about them. And you have a nice relaxed conversational presentation as well as an impressive collection.
    I have a few rifles, a top eject 1894 Wincester Lever action in 0.44M that I bought in the mid-70's, still with wonderful handiness and nice wood. Good on pigs in thick scrub, with a ghost ring site. My two "better" rifles are a Tikka M55 in 0.22-250, a real tack-driver with a lovely oiled satin stock with a palm swell in just the right place for me, and a Tikka M690 with a Vortex scope for LR target shooting in 0.270 Win.
    Both were bought in the early-mid 80's. I'd like to see your opinion of the M690, one of the Tikkas that still seems to have some of the nice qualities of "real" rifles that come with the wooden stocks and nice fitment that precede the rather characterless (albeit functional) pre-T3 Lite. The M690 has the full cover of the breech-top with just a neat ejection port, giving the rifle the sort of stiffness that a large target scope would seem to demand. As with all Tikkas I've seen or handled, both their actions are silk-smooth and they shoot what a friend terms "lethal flat". Unfortunately, while the earlier M55 is all metal furniture, I do lament the small amount of polycarbonate on the M690, namely the trigger guard, magazine bottom-cap and mag release button.
    Interestingly, I spent some time shooting a friend's Voere 0.22LR when I was a kid. I ended up buying a Russian TOZ in 0.22LR and it is still with me today, the one thing I have owned in my life the longest. It isn't fancy; the stock is some kind of failry soft Siberian Spruce with a nice piney smell when I lightly sanded and refinished it some 50 years into its life with me, but I take care of it. It is as tough as anything else Russian I have seen and used, with a bolt the same size as that in my 0.22-250, around three times the size ands weight of the tiny one I recall in the Voere. That's the nice thing about firearms, too. Good ones last for generations.
    Thank for you Channel and efforts to make life interesting for us enthusiasts who love great engineering and classic look and feel of precious things that I believe every man should own at least one of.
    Cheers!

    Been around the guns my whole life and have yet to run into a Voere. Heard of the company though, and the memory that sticks in my mind is when they manufactured an electronic ignition rifle back in either the late 80's or early nineties. As I recall it fired a proprietary ammunition in which the case was actually the propellant. At least I seem to remember that being the case. Never saw one though. I knew the military was interested (and likely still is) in someone coming up with a rifle which shoots a lightweight caseless ammunition that is reliable and accurate. And electronic ignition would provide one hell of a "lock time", which would aid in accuracy.

    • @UnitedStatesOfGuns
      @UnitedStatesOfGuns  4 года назад +3

      Good memory Greg - that's them (Voere that is) - great company and rifles. BTW H&K came up with an impressive caseless design. All of the designs could not overcome the reality that the brass case is an excellent heat sink and each empty case removes heat from the chamber. Caseless ammo eventually ignites in rapid fire - in the chamber - without a pull of the trigger ; the chamber heat fires the caseless cartridge. Cooling systems of course are possible - but what a headache and even more complexity and its companion, failure.

    Just an FYI. Back in the early 90's Mauser was marketing the Voere action in a line of their rifles. I purchased one new back then in 300 Weatherby mag. It was a wonderfully made fat bolt tri lug rifle with the smoothest bolt I've owned (yes I own Krags too), and the wood wasn't shiny but wonderfully proportioned, slim, and had a nice oil finish. A wonderful rifle I stupidly sold.

    I live in Alberta and the Titan II came to me via two previous owners from Eastern Canada. I am always thankful when someone buys and saves special things until I can get to them, and that is so in this case.
    If my father was still alive, and if I still had access to his workshop and tools I would remove the barreled action from the stock. But I do not, so after several attempts and considerable thought, I have just buttoned things up again.
    I watched my father hand fit more than one stock, and he was a master at that, to the point where a very good professional gunsmith was shocked to learn he was a railroader, with a hobby passion for stock work.
    I got into benchrest shooting in the late 70's and added some very different flavour to his stock fitting. A friend explained to me how to drill out the guard screw holes to create pillars of bedding compound as a base. Dad picked up on that and perfected it. But he still hand fitted as well.
    I cannot imagine the German stockmaker who fitted this gun ever used a single drop of bedding compound. He, or was it she, would have been at the top of their craft before they were given the task of fitting a glorious curly European Walnut full length blank. Try to find a glorio

  • @davidwilson2657
    @davidwilson2657 2 года назад

    Firearms buying in 2022 is a far different adventure than I was even 20 years ago.
    I bought my Titan II online without seeing or handling it. I spent considerable time on the phone with the owner to satisfy myself that he is both knowledgable and honest. And the gun arrived in even better than expected condition.
    But the biggest factor is the calibre. If you think ammunition is in short supply in the US try getting it in Canada. I am going to become a hunter/gatherer like my ancestors and I set out quite some time ago to buy a scoped rifle in a versatile calibre. As a left handed shooter I decided it was time to finally own a Mark V Weatherby. The one I found was in 300. I never did buy that gun, but I did get 40 rounds of free brass from a friend. And dies at a great price. The gun came with 50 rounds of good ammo. So I have about 90 rounds of expensive brass to last me a lifetime. The only reason I will handload for this gun is to create reduced recoil loads with light monolithic bullets.
    And the Voere has directed me to shoot it right handed because the stock configuration is so good for a right handed shooter, and my right I eye has become the better one. The scope is off because the sights are incredibly good and I am a good enough moose hunter to get them inside 200 metres, where a scope would be of little value. No scope means a lighter and simpler gun for easier carry, which is how most rifles spend most of their time. I may only fire this one once a year.
    So now I have an iron sight 30/30 for close shots and an iron sight 300 Weatherby for long shots, meaning 200 metres. I am a good long range target shooter, but first and foremost I am an accomplished hunter which allows me to hunt with simple tools. Pretty logical conclusion to over 50 years of hunting.
    Thanks for listening.

      Hi - I went through all kinds of arrangements for guns. Finally settled on one room for "active" guns : security camera / vaults attached to studs and remote vaults - 12 guns each divided by types in other rooms - also anchored. Nothing structural and very little evidence for visitors of anything. When I'm out the whole place is alarmed and camerad up - and getting into any one vault would be a major job. I put lead in each vault floor so lifting one would take a crane - floor joists are fine so far. Hope this helps and fantastic that you are building a new house!

    @davidwilson4313 2 года назад

    It took me a couple of listens, but I realize you switched from calling the Voere Shikar to calling it a Voerebach. Having just read, with some difficulty, the scroll markings on my Titan II I double checked and it is marked Voere Voerenbach on the barrel as well as Made in Germany on the opposite side. The receiver is marked Titan II.
    Kleingunther, the old Texas importer, apparently got into the act somewhere and I found a reference to the Shikar as a pre Kleingunther version.
    I recall the Kleingunther advertising touting half inch groups and apparently they did their own stocks. But half inch groups, even 3 shot, requires a properly made barrel.
    I would send you pics of the roll markings on my gun, but my 70 year old eyes can barely read them, let alone tell if a camera shot is in focus.
    You are pretty clearly a fan of the Model 98 with its flat milled action sides. There is no question in my mind the round action is stiffer, and the weld on recoil lug is the best way to get that with a round action. Remington got a great reputation for accuracy with a washer sandwiched between barrel and action, which would be done with a jig, the same as the welded one.
    I cannot find my Torx tool to remove the action screws (which often works fine with socket head bolts) so I do not know the configuration of my Titan II.
    My magnet tells me the trigger guard and magazine well are all steel, as is the well made detachable magazine, about the best I have ever seen.
    Now my "complicated" set trigger breaks at a relatively clean 3 pounds, and set at maybe 8 ounces. The nice thing is that once I get it out of the stock there is a locking adjustment screw between the triggers.

    I've been enjoying your videos for a while now, and this one in particular led me to buy a Shikar in 7mm Rem Mag when I saw it at my local shop. After disassembly and cleaning, I have a couple of questions for you or anyone else who knows about rifles like these:
    1. Would it be worth buying an extra stock for it? I found a "long action" Shikar stock for sale for about $300, and the one it came with has a couple of issues, namely - the wood section between the magazine box and the trigger is broken out in the middle, and there is about an 8mm piece of wood missing from just in front of the rear pillar. There don't appear to be any other cracks or breaks. Should I just get it repaired instead?
    2. The bluing is worn around the muzzle and along the barrel in a couple of places. I plan to keep it well cleaned and protected with Ballistol or similar, but again, would it be worth the expense to have it re-blued or attempt it myself?
    3. I haven't shot it yet so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, I just want to preserve the rifle for my grandchildren / resale / come what may.
    Thanks for all the great content and for sharing all of your gunsmith and collector knowledge!

      Hi Forrest - You have great luck! These are hard to find! I would buy the second stock - as they are about impossible to find. The issues you mentioned are easily repaired/filled by any skilled woodworker or gunsmith - or you could do it. The blue loss is natural use; re-bluing reduces value and won't change all that much. If the blue loss reallys bothers you I would buy a bottle of cold blue and touch up those areas only and then oil and set aside for awhile. You can keep re-touching with the cold blue for blending and depth purposes. Thank you for your kind words and support. You won't lose money on the rifle or stock - so it is just a matter of whether you'd like to make the investment in both.
      Hope this helps, good shooting and all the best to you.

    Old fingers twitch and send meesages prematurely. Now the rest of the story.
    To make a very long story short I have never encountered a tighter fit wood stock in the last 50 years. A true testament to the artistry of the truly accomplished European stockmaker.
    And German machine work. And German metalwork in general.
    My BMW mechanic once told me the if Germans could make something more complicated they did. But it was never for lack of a reason.
    So this gun will never come apart in my hands, and it will never get wet. I owe the craftspeople who made it that.

    Two beautiful rifles and a person can't go wrong picking one or the other. That being said if I had to pick one I would take the Fohrenbach. I like how it is a flat bottomed action, has a relatively simple trigger, and a recoil lug done in the most correct way. That Titan though has some really nice wood, iron sights, and a really interesting way to house a magazine.
    Still, when it comes to rifles in the California style my personal preference is the Weatherby Mark V. I admit that I am biased here, but it is difficult for me not to be. This is because I have handled a Mark V Royal Ultramark and the elegance of that rifle is seared in my memory.

    Hey love your channel, very knowledgeable and informative. I happen to own two Voere M2150, which proceeds M2155. These two had different stocks, one is more like Mont Carlo and the other one is like modern rifle stock. Do you happen to know something about this model? What kind of Mauser actions built on, etc? Both chambered in 30-06. Thanks!

    • @UnitedStatesOfGuns
      @UnitedStatesOfGuns  3 года назад

      Thanks Doug - the 2150s I owned used standard military Mauser 98 actions made at German factories but the manufacturer code was machined off and the entire action tuned; these have the military thumb cut on the left side as you know for stripper clips. Superb rifles.

    Hi! I was gifted a veore titan II in 243 and am trying to find a pic rail for it. These are beautiful rifles, and I am hoping to find that base to get a scope put on it. Any advice on finding a rail would be greatly appreciated!!

    • @UnitedStatesOfGuns

      Hi Shannon - I'd visually match up a pic rail you like at your local gun store and take it to a gunsmith - he or she can fit the rail to just about any receiver. I've had that done a few times - always perfect; not only with the Titan II. Also, your rifle is scarce and in demand - hard to find one in .243. Good on you : )

      Hello Team 627 - Depending on condition you could pick one up in a range from say $600. to $1200. Voere made bolt actions on the Mauser and on the Titan action - both are excellent and both are in approximately the same price range. Hope this helps.

      Very, very fine rifle. Usually the skip line checkering is excellent and the wood quality high. Accuracy is excellent and the action is bank vault solid - large diameter bolt body. One of the best. Made in Germany of course; sold under the Mauser banner for awhile. Just great!

    Noticed you have Mauser 98 base mounts on the Titan. While the 98 mounts contour correctly the base heights are way off. I wound up using Mauser 94-96 bases to get the scope to line up with the bore axis. Contacted voere about it (they told me voere Germany no longer existed and I should educate myself), went through a couple hundred dollars of mounting systems to figure it out.

    • @UnitedStatesOfGuns
      @UnitedStatesOfGuns  3 года назад

      Thank you Caenous - I had no idea. The only other things I do is find a mount that has about the right contour but height is wrong - front or rear ring. I put emery cloth on the receiver and sand the scope base to exact receiver contour and level - I even do this with Weaver bases - which are easier if they are the aluminum Weavers. So many ways to go - I like yours. All the best.
