Nice guns, thanks for sharing

I have never seen, touched, or held a Blaser that I actually wanted to own. Forget the inflated price...just not my kind of rifle.

Guy selling a Mannlicher Schoenauer 8x56 in pretty good shape for 850 bucks; but I’m trying to be a good boy…


Edit: at the Calgary gun show

Also a rigby 1895 in 6.5x53r holy smokes what a nice piece

 

[Rob]

To me, Manlicher stocked rifles look better if they have iron sights, than the ones that don’t. I can not say why I feel this, it is almost like a firearms “golden ratio” perception in my little walnut brain.

 

[chasseur]

I agree .I also prefer them with double set triggers as well not that I use them much, I just like the look of them on a rifle

I mean, you could pay me to hunt just about anything with anything (legal, of course).

I've been reading and enjoy looking at all the photos of the fs rifles here for a while. I thought I would share my current collection of the these rifles including one that I've purchases off Rob's.

Drool. Very nice and thanks for sharing. The three I have hardly compare. I have a pair of M-70 Zastavas, one in 9.3x62 and the other in 7x57. And to use here on the Vancouver Island 'Wet Coast' primarily for Blacktail, a while back I picked up a Ruger Hawkeye M-77 Lipsey model in 7x57.

You're welcome Johnn. I don't have a 7mm Mauser in my collection, I would like to pick one up specially in the Ruger #1 RSI. Three is better then none. You can always add more.

I got lucky and found one about a month ago in Canada. Only had a box through it. There was one at the Penticton gun show being sold by a guy from Claresholm but it was not in 7 by 57. Expect to pay between 1550 and 2500. These were the Lipsey special stainless RSI bolt actions. Not in Ruger 1.

Beautiful collection!

They only made around 250 of those Lipsey 5 by 57 in the RSI. That’s less than 5 per state. Nice to know a few are floating around in Canada. They also made a run with the Rigby 275. Same same.

Does anyone have one of these fullstock Krico 600 clones of the Brno ZKW 465?

(Made approx. 1954-1963. Some people swear that the Krico receiver was made by Pfaff, the German sewing machine company, and was first a casting, and later machined. Others claim that Krico actually used Brno parts, at least at the very beginning of the production.)

 

[RichardSlinger]

Anyone ever worked up a more modern load for the 8x56?
The case is so similar to 8x57 I imagine a mild 8x57 load would work just fine.

 

[buckbrush]

The one I saw was marked 465 on the left receiver wall, not sure about the ZKW.

 

[Mangosteen]

Anyone see and Mannlicher S 1903’s either in the Cowtown or Kamloops shows for sale?
By the way does the Swedish M38 qualify as a Mannlicher? Or does the wood have to go right to the muzzle.

Here is a real cutie petutie in a Steyr 6.5 by 55 available right now.

Georgeous.
