Mike, .458WM Mannlicher-Schöenauer is now fully completed.
Making that big game rifle has been quite a challenge as I owe to the true to recognize that the basic quality of the 1956 donor Schöenauer wasn't up the craftsmanship level we usually found on prewar production.
We have done the best to create a clean, well-balanced, rifle and we hope its owner will like and use it with confidence.
As stated earlier the sighting equipment relies on a S&B 1,25-4x24 scope fitted on special hand made quick detachable low claw mounts while the metallic sighting line combine a front 1/10" gold bead, three leaves express rear sight and a modified P-H bolt peep sight with removable aperture converting it to ghost ring.
Indeed all the barrel fitting is band soldered while the front swivel base is silver brazed.
The French walnut stock is DORLEAC slim style and some stubble touches of engraving, gold inlays and color case hardening complete the finish.
Please feel free to comment.

Best regards to all.
