Schmidt Rubin 1889 and GP90/23 Teaser

In the upcoming full review we will be taking a look at the Schmidt Rubin 1889 and how to replicate the GP90/23 cartridge. Stay tuned!

I've been eye'n those Schmidts for quite some time. Definitely looking forward to see how you load GP90/23. It looks like a really pleasant cartridge to shoot. Kinda reminds me of the 6.5x50mm Arisaka.

It is very pleasant to shoot! I actually enjoy shooting the 1889 more than the M1911.

The Schmidt & Rubin family of rifles, along with the Mauser Modelo Argentino 1891 were (in my opinion) the finest military rifles ever produced. The Europeans really had arms manufacturing down in the late 1800s. I wonder how many hours of labor went into machining and fitting these guns. I feel like such a dunce for not hoarding up on these guns back when they were cheap and plentiful at the big-box stores (Like a decade ago).

Greatings, was considering buying one of these guy, but I had a question, they are very affordable in my place but the bullets are hard to find Intel I get was is needed to make them, or should I rather go for a M96 mauser, rifle is double the price but bullets are easier to find, and I dunno about performances, what do you think? Great video btw, cheers 😀

[@Targetpopper]

should be good. Ive been using .308 cast and gas checked 190 grn bullets with good results.

[@joelopezjl28]

do you think with some safe loads would make this a Humane deer killing rifle up to 150 yards

[@murphysmuskets]

Of coarse! As loaded in the video its already more powerful than 30-30 and produces 1763 ft.ibf of energy.

[@joelopezjl28]

+murpheysmuskets wow that's awesome. how much for one of those bad boys?

[@murphysmuskets]

Those damned airplanes... Those seem like some rather soft shooting pills.

[@murphysmuskets]

It is light recoiling and smooth shooting.

[@ibpn4284]

cease fire, cease fire aircraft overhead

[@majormassenspektrometer]

Are you shooting at an airport? lol

[@ThunderMountainTactical]

It wouldn't be a bad looking rifle if not for that horrible rear sight......

[@murphysmuskets]

I thought the same thing at first, but its such a pleasant rifle to shoot that it grows on you.
