The 10.75x68 reminds me of the 9.5x57, a milder cartridge, perhaps a little less powerful than sensible. But good for medium and driven game.



Der Mannlicher Schoenauer was available in both 9.5X57 and 10.75X68 in the pre WW2 period.

One just came up on used guns https://usedguns.com.au/gun/706461/ and they are asking 20g for it. Doesn't look right to me. Checkering looks like my Mum did it. Would be interested on thoughts.



Way overpriced for my liking!
The Barn seem to like adding on a good commission

That price is absolutely NUTS - that's nearly 4 times what I paid for my Model B - and nearly 5 times what I paid for my Model A - and nearly 10 times what I paid for my Krico - and nearly 15 times what I paid for my used Model B that I sold for $900 at auction - I can't believe they will ever sell it to any knowledgeable Mauser collector.

I 0rdered a custom 350g 2-cavity bullet mold from Accurate Mold today. I will post some results when I get the mold and test some loads


This is the mold I ordered with a .423 diameter so it should cast 350 grains.

Will be interesting to see how your PB bullets shoot. My 404 which was originally chambered in 10.75x68 was poor with PB bullets but very accurate with GC bullets. My 400gr mould cast PB bullets but I set up a system to turn a GC shank on them. The 370gr bullet in my earlier post image cast GC ready.

These 10.75 threads....
Every time another pops up I think what a dandy elk round that caliber would be for our "Harry" blind on the ranch (three named Tom, Dick and Harry after the trio tunnels in The Great Escape ). Great for bear baiting, too.
And the bullets would be easy on the pocketbook...cast flat points.

The Barn are total tossers, always have these ridiculous prices and their guns are advertised sometimes for years with no sale, especially Pre 64 Model 70's which they seem believe are worth pots of gold.
They have just listed a Hollis 450/400 Underleaver Hammer Double for $25K, a gun which even in as new condition wouldn't get more than $10K. Wankers.

Wankers...Heh Heh, yes, Wankers.
I thought there was an extra decimal added in there by mistake.
$1990 AUD is about right for that gun.

That's still $1,253.00 US - still seems too high to me.

I saw it just as it was listed and thought the same.

Daryl, that cartridge has bit of a cult following here, probably as we can easily buy brass and projectiles for it both being made here in Australia. Its also a pretty useful cartridge for Australia so rifles sell for more than over your way, a good condition fairly original Model B would easily get $5K, an average one maybe half that.

I understand & recognize the high pricing in Au. I'm used to pricing here, although they are going up here too.
I see used 7mm mag, .30/06 and .300.mags on Mauser actions going for over a thousand $ % up to $1,400.00. They are scoped as well. Almost bought one, a nice condition Parker Hale. 300 Win Mag for $700.00.

in Sweden Mauser 10,75x68 seems to cost 26 000 SEK which is a little more than $2500.

I don't recognise and understand these ludicrous prices.

That is how I see the rifle. Here, would likely go for $800.00 to $1,000.00.

The stock looks wrong. It is a model B but for that price...forget it. Such rifle overhere in europe would be sold for €1000-1200. No more. In some cases they may be found standing for years with a €600 pricetag.



The seller says the following about it on website:

"The rifle’s condition is truly remarkable, with no signs of wear on the metal or wood, preserving its original factory finish and crisp markings in pristine state. ---- The walnut stock’s rich grain and the sleek, unmarred metalwork highlight Mauser’s attention to detail during the early 1930s, a period when the company catered to discerning hunters and collectors."

The above words clearly represent it as original, including the stock. Except for the modern pad, right?

It's a re-stock, and done to a quality level well below that accomplished by the Mauser factory back in the day. That stock is nothing like close to a Type B or even Type A stock. The style is all wrong (looks like someone ripped a Slee). With that little drop and no scope most shooters would find it a real bastard to shoot with the irons unless a very, very short neck. The checkering is not close to an Oberndorf Mauser and is poory executed to boot. The crossbolts are poorly fitted and look like US-made Talley; definitely not vintage Mauser. Looking closely the sanding is poorly done and the pores aren't filled. I reckon an experienced eye looking at the inlet would be revealing. Look at the forend, it is not inlet to half way and appears in the photo to have a definite fall away from centreline towards the tip. I'd say the metalwork has been re-blued. Hell - look at the bolt face photo! Unfired, as they claim? "adherence to Oberndorf’s stringent standards" - absolutely not.

That stock cannot even be represented as a well done custom stock. It's a handle, nothing more, and detracts from the value of the rifle.
