I’ve toyed with the idea of a Type M in 10.75x68. While I’m not particularly recoil sensitive, that round would likely be a little much for me.

In 1939 you could have ordered a Mannlicher Schönauer that way, either 9.3X62 or 10.75X68, though the barrel may have been 24". Note the 'special orders' listed near the bottom of the page, particularly "full stock in rifles which normally have half stock".
