Re: .458 Mannlicher Schönauer in auction just now

Very Nice!

Certainly would prefer the forward sling-swivel position on your version, Joel!

BTW I find the MS bolt easy to operate with a little practice, placing the thumb firmly on the bolt-handle root before lifting. If you do this, they are virtually as fast to operate, even at the shoulder, as a bolt knob.

The swept-back butter-knife of later models (demanded by Stoeger?) completely stuffs this up, of course! As does an incorrectly-mounted scope.

All that said, I'd love a .458 like the one pictured.
