I just checked the Cervus elaphus which is their technical name and it is the red deer as you suggested. The hunting licence requires me to sit a theory test and taking a practical shooting test each year which is not an issue. I can then get my rifles and have a passport made for them so I can take them over the border for hunting. It is some stuffing about but once it is done, it's not a big deal to keep current.

I have Norwegian permanent residency and speak the hurgen-flurg (Swedish Chef reference from the muppets there) fluently so figuring out the process and navigating the rules should not be a major issue.

The only concern is that the practical test requires 5 shots into a target and I am hearing rumours that the Mannlicher does not lend itself well to firing more than 3 rounds at a time as the barrel heat really affects the accuracy. Can anyone chime in as to wether this is true or not?

Good day to you Paul
Please keep in mind not one rifle respond in the same way, heat up in the same way, we usually tend to lend our ears to opinions of other people usually not even owning such a rifle , Tony Sanchez- Arrino points this out in his book, where a lot of people gave their opinions on double rifle calibers that do not have own the specific caliber they have the said opinion of. Get the rifle , test it and see how it shoots , do not bother your self on issues not conducive at this stage. Please I am not criticizing you I know you are excited and you should be since this is really a beautiful rifle, maybe not scarce in Finland or other countries , but surely in my country...keep it as original as possible, this is only my opinion, on the end it is still your rifle to do what you like with it...but enjoy this rifle...

Regards

Gert
