Is there any owner of an original Mannlicher Schönauer rifle in 10,75x68 in the forum ? or knows some owner anywhere in the world.
Please contact me via mail - thanks in advance.

One of my friends in Darwin has one, but he's not parting with it (understandably!) I suspect there aren't many in Australia. If you hope to acquire a good example, you will need deep pockets!

Thanks Marrakai for answering.
I am preparing some documetations of Austrian hunting rifles and are not able to find a picture of a 10,75x68 Mannlicher receiver.Is it possible for you to assist me with a receiver photo from your friend ?
It would be a great help for me - thanks in advance

Marrakai,
If you get some photos, please post them here too.
A carbine stock Mannlicher-Schoenauer in 10.75mm would be quite a handy rifle.

I'll contact Geoff after Christmas and see if a photo session can be arranged. Meanwhile, here's a rather poor photo of the big Mannlicher on the firing line at one of our Big Game Rifle shoots here in Darwin.
BTW John, it's a rifle obviously, not carbine stocked. Don't think any of the 10.75s were carbines originally.

OK makes sense. I considered buying a 9.5x57 once in the rifle version once. But a 10.75x68 would be a lot more versatile.

Hello members of RSA,
no one of you is owning an original Mannlicher Schönauer in 10,75x68 ?
Please have a look into your rifle safes and report.
Thanks Johann from Austria
