All you mannlicher experts, did they make the classic action in .404 Jeffrey ? I thought I remember reading somewhere there was a model made in a metric equivalent or am I dreaming ?, thanks, Mike

Mike, aint no use asking essentially the same question over and over again, see my answers to your former questions in these threads:

As I wrote before, the post-1957 M-Sch "Magnum" action will take cartridges up to cartridge over all length 86 mm = 3.35", not a hair more. So the .404, max. coal 89.66 mm, the .375 H&H Magnum and .416 Remington, both coal 91.44 mm are out as is the .458 Lott. The M-Sch "long" actions from the M1924 on take a max coal of 84mm, so 9.3x62, .30-06 and 7x64 are "in", while the 9.3x64 Brenneke, coal 85.6 mm, is "out" of all pre-"1957 Magnum" actions. The only prewar M-Sch "large bore" chambering was the 10.75x68, coal 81mm. Though the original factory loads featured a 347 gr bullet at 2260 fps from a 28" test barrel, modern powders allow handloads using the 400 gr .423 bullet to achieve about 2050 fps from a 24" barrel. This is about the same as the old Kynoch load that advertized the same 400 gr bullet at 2100 fps from a 28" test barrel. The fly in the ointment: Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifles in 10.75x68 are rarer than hen's teeth. I noticed only four such rifles worldwide.

Kuduae, apologies, I should have checked the OL of the cartridge, thanks, Mike

John, as I posted some years back I shot one in abt 1999 at the ADA running deer event at Lithgow. It was for sale for abt AUD 2500 and went to the NT shortly thereafter. Quite accurate at abt 250yds off the hind legs. (smile)
