CptCurl,
I own a 1903 6.5x54 Mannlicher carbine, finished and sold through William Evans (London). The rifle is immaculate and will shoot MOA or better with competition load and 1.25 inches with 160 grainers at 2250fps. You've gotta love that.
I bought mine in Australia about 7 - 8 years ago and paid about $3500 if that helps. The continental rifles will sell for considerably less.

Curl, CONGRATS on a beautiful gun!
Really like this "wartime" gun. Interesting piece of history and the safety while added(are we sure this wasn't added as a option new?),would be nice in the field! Kevin.

I'm still a bit timid of popping the cherry on this minty 102 year old rifle.

Howdy Captain--
So far I'd say you've behaved like a perfect gentleman, approached her slowly and given her plenty of time--but believe me, she's ready, even hungry, for a good hot deflowering at the local gun range.
Have you loaded any ammo yet?

We've barely got past holding hands, but she's ready, for sure.
No ammo loaded yet. Just moving slowly.
