I use all of my Mannlicher rifles regularly for hunting! the older ones with open sights! I have posted some photos on this forum in the past! I have some later models with scope mounts and scopes on them, like a 7x64 and a .308 with a modern Zeiss scope, but I still prefer the old open sight rifles!! they ooze style and function, and nothing feed as smooth a MS rifle!! Enough said!
