Coming soon, hard to wait
#239729 - 24/12/13 03:18 PM

Hard to wait for this, so I used sellers pictures. It may not compare to some much finer rifles I have seen here, but to me it is a journeymans sporting rifle. Based on a Romanian Mannlicher, I don't know who did the work. Stock has no cheekpiece, and I think some checkering is in order.

I have clips from a Dutch Mannlicher. 6.5x53 R. Also have formed cases and 160gr Hornadys.
Should be a handy woods carbine for up here in the boreal forests.

Picked it up yesterday. The pictures make the stock look lighter than it is. It is a really dark stained stock. Some imperfections, but for what I paid I am happy.

LOP just over 14" (35.5cm) I don't know what make the set trigger is, but it is definitely one to get used to. Wish it had the scope to go with it, but then if wishes were horses beggers would ride.

Upon further research, this rifle has the Mannlicher Schoenauer double set trigger. At least it resembles one I found on the M/S collectors site.
