Hello all,

I'm a double rifle fanatic, but I dabble in bolt guns (used to do more).

I have always admired the classic Mannlicher Schoenauer full stock carbines - the 1903 in 6.5 x 54mm.

I think I might have to play out this fantasy by adding one to my collection. I have never owned a M-S.

Can some of you give me an idea of what a 1903 full stock carbine in excellent condition will sell for in the U.S. these days?

Do you think it should have a claw mounted scope?

If anybody has one to sell, I'm your huckleberry!

Thanks in advance,
Curl
