Re: An interesting story of a 256 Mannlicher Rifle

Quote:
A Mannlicher and its 6.5mm cartridge was the choice of many turn-of-the-century adventurers. Jeffery marketed the rifle for chamois hunters and Sheldon put it to good use, stalking keen-eyed sheep to within open-sight range.
Amazing when today we constantly read of the need to have the most super duper Magnum powered long range rifle and huge scopes capable of minimum 600 metre shots for mountain hunting ...
