The Joh. Springer Deluxe Kipplauf, crafted in Vienna, Austria, in 1967, epitomizes exceptional craftsmanship and precision. This particular rifle, with serial number 957-67, is chambered in the powerful 8x68S caliber, making it a top choice for discerning shooters.
Featuring a 26-inch barrel, the rifle includes an integral matted rib with the central portion milled away, leaving a low rib and ramp front base with a silver bead. The rear quarter rib has a standing leaf rear sight and claw scope bases. The barrel flats and bottom flat are stamped with 1967 Ferlach proofs and caliber markings. The action is a Kersten top lever Blitz with a double locking top bolt and double set triggers, providing smooth and reliable performance.
The coin-finished, scallop-backed double Kersten top lever Blitz action boasts an automatic safety with "S" gold inlaid, a bushed striker, reinforcing bolsters, and double set triggers. The action is adorned with large open shaded scroll engraving with foliate highlights. The blued top lever and spurred trigger guard also feature intricate scroll engraving.
The buttstock is made from striking, marbled, and stump-figured European walnut, horn-capped at the pistol grip, and measures 13.75 inches over a brown White Line open-sided pad. It features a slightly hog-backed comb, a right-hand shadow line cheekpiece, point pattern checkering with broad mullered borders at the grip, and a scroll-engraved cartridge trap with space for two cartridges. The sling loop matches that on the barrel and is located on the toe line. The matching splinter forend includes an engine-turned iron and Deeley release. The drop at heel is approximately 3-1/8 inches, and the drop at comb is approximately 1-11/16 inches. The rifle weighs 8 lbs with the scope and 6 lbs 13.6 oz without it.
Mounted on the rifle is a Kahles Helia-Super 6X scope with a duplex reticle, set in soldered-on claw rings with windage adjustment on the rear ring. This rifle comes with five boxes of 8x68S ammunition: four boxes (80 rounds) of RWS 200 Grain Power Bonded Evolution and one box (20 rounds) of RWS 187 Grain H-Mantel.
The rifle is in very good condition overall, showing faint wear typical of its age and use. The bore is clear with sharp rifling, the action is smooth, and the trigger is crisp, making it a prized possession for any collector or shooter. This is a perfect big game stalking rifle. 8x68s is a trusted caliber globally for big game!
