And here is my second "toy" with his "big brother"

On Tuesday I finally got my second Mannlicher. It comes from Austria and is an interesting rifle in many respects. I'm quite sure that in the beginning it has been m.1903 in cal. 6,5x54 M-S with fullstock. But in year 1964 some skillfull gunsmith has made some changes to it. First, the pipe has been changed to apr. 7 inch longer and new caliber is 6,5x57 Mauser. Stock has been shortened 7 inch and front sling swivel moved forwards nearly as much. In the origin there has been Wienna -style scope mounts on that rifle but the gunsmith has replaced them with 3-point "normally" Mannlicher claw mounts. The scope is 4x KAHLES.

Edit. Here is more pictures of the "big brother"
