Re: Opinions on Mannlicher Schoenauer.....?

It is a great rifle. Unfortunately, I have not hunted with it yet. I will try to post pictures. I hope something comes up.

It is VERY expensive to buy cartridges (from $5 to $10 each), so I got a set of forming/loading dies from RCBS. Expensive, but they paid for themselves the first shooting session. Any pf the 30-06 or 8mm Mauser family of cases can be easily reformed. I use 46gr to 48gr of IMR 4064 with a 270gr Hornady RNSP (MAXIMUM). Any shorter, lighter, or different shaped bullets don't feed well from the rotary magazine. With the peepsight, it is more accurate than I am with my old eyes (trifocals now). A very impressive gun.
