Whenever I see rifles like this, I think “Wow. Really Nice rifles. Too bad the bolt handles and cheek pieces are on the wrong side . . .” One plus is that temptation is greatly reduced due to the extremely limited market. The burdens we lefty’s have to bear! Now I must get back to my search for a left handed Sedgley . . . |

Nice! |

I just did a LH Ruger M77 Mk2 for a guy. It's the only controlled feed action in Left hand that is still pretty affordable and they make nice looking classics. |

Here's my contribution. I have yet to identify the maker. According to the Rusch family, it was custom made for Reynold H Rusch - He was from Minocqua, Wisconsin. I was told it was made for him in the 1950's or 60's, perhaps by a Wisconsin Gunsmith. Its built on a 1930's FN 98 Mauser Action ("Greek Contract" w/ Original Factory Barrel in 8x57 cal.) Here's the specs: - Mannlicher Stock of French Walnut w/ Metal Forend Cap - Shadow Out-Line Roll-Over Cheek Piece - Buffalo Horn Grip Cap w/ Compass - Buffalo Horn Butt Plate - Single Panel Wrap-Around Skip-Line Forend Checkering w/ Fluers - Two Panel Skip-Line Grip Checkering w/ Fluers - 13-5/8" LOP - 17-1/2" Barrel - 7-1/4 pounds - Lyman 57 Rear Sight - Lyman Ramp Front Sight w/ Brass Bead - Buehler Low Profile Safety - Jeweled Bolt - Custom Turned-Down Bolt Handle - Checkered Bolt Knob - Checkered Trigger - Engraved Screws - Sling Swivels |

https://i.imgur.com/KFG8T07.jpg Shot this doe this evening. I could have shot her with a bow she was so close. But I contend that I have way more satisfaction from being able to use such a classic gun, and with iron sights. I have quite a few more of these full stocked beauties about, and will add them in time. Oh! In case you have missed my other requests: I am looking for original Mauser M Type steel buttplates (either style), and/or Mannlicher Schoenauer steel buttplates. Spread the word and let me know what you have. Thanks, Lance |

The rifle had a set of claw scope mounts already installed when I found it and wears a Leopold 1.5-5 Vari X III. |

SAKO try to get more niche in Middle Europe market area so they think bavarian style butt stock will maybe help it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The Sako Bavarian fullstock looks good but its actually a heavy and bulky rifle. I had one in 30-06...had. |
