Interesting 'take down'. similar, virtually identical to a hooked breech on a muzzleloader, except they do not use a cross-pin/screw and only the barrel is removed on the muzzleloader.

I admit. I kick myself for not buying 10 of these things when century had crates full and wanted something like 40 bucks a piece for them.

A 200 grain .338 bullets squoze down to .330 or whatever it is (.329?) would kill deer and elk and bear quite nicely.

Question, I went thru the 8 pages of this thread and I did not notice any Steyr M95 sporters that were the product of one of the English gunmaker houses. I could have misses one if it was there, however does anyone have pics of an English treatment? Sure would like to see them. Thanks

Plenty of pics of my fine example by W.J.Jeffery on this thread from 2020.

Couple from Huvius's "shot and regulated" example in there too.

Hope you find them useful.

allmost ever they were made for the austrian market so having the "alpine" look.
the mannlicher M 92 / 93 / M 95 is another story.
the connection to the british gun market is the 8x50R aka .315 india in the Lee Speed rifle.

Ha! Just realized this thread is about the M95 straight-pull rifle, LRF.
Apologies!

Thanks lancaster, it seemed that way but I had to ask. I am researching another project and these Steyr M95's came up. I have one that is a military I was given many years ago and then I was recently informed that a friend has a commercial one that a gunsmith started to restore 40 years ago. I also have a desire to built another single shot of my own design. It would take the rough shape of a Gibbs Rook Action-in-wood rifle in 30-30 Win.
Decisions, decisions, and I am not getting younger.

Please keep posting pics of M95's when you see them

To me that epitomizes (of the prior owner) the concept of; hey, it's your gun... .

It appears to have been used much and presumably served its owner well.

That´s the exact way most finnish custom gun builder think. I just think it´s always possible to build a gun which works well and even look good.
