Paul,
The 222 would be a Steyr Mannlicher, totally different then your Mannlicher Schoenauer. I didn't know if you knew the difference. If so please ignore.
The rifle is a Mannlicher SL:

I was very tempted as it was cheaper than what I bought however for hunting it is quite limited as it can only be used for roe deer. I was considering a Sako 375 H&H as well but decided it was a little more rifle than I needed and the ammo was too pricey:

Both these rifles were cheaper than what I ended up purchasing but I have no regrets. I wanted something that was a good allrounder and a classic and the 6.5 x 55 does that well. It will pair up nicely with my FN Browning sa22 from 1920 which will be used on birds.
