I've been out of pocket and somehow didn't get notice of these postings. To clarify, I am only speaking of the MS guns...not the Steyr guns (commonly known as SM's) with removable clips, etc. as mentioned above...and I'm not really talking about mannlicher style full stock guns but rather the Mannlicher Schonenauer brand.

I have to admit that a 6.5 or 7mm and 458 MS would be the cat's meow. I contacted 4 major dealers (like Champlins) and none of them had seen a 458 MS in years and between the 4 of them had only owned 5 of them in their entire career...that was 2 of the dealers and the other 2 had NEVER had one come through their shop. I was really surprised by that and figured I was just having a tough time finding one because I was looking in the wrong places. Apparently, they are not meant to be found!
