Mannlichers....

Well if someone is looking for a project rifle... yikes. Up at Wards, and no it aint mine. Someone obviously owned a drill. Though, the compass is an interesting touch, just the other day I was going through an old Ellwood Epps catalogue and saw those, and wondered how many they sold a year.

However, the asking price is a bit eye-watering.

Nice lumber though. Lovely rifle.

I've seen those stock compasses on many old rifles.

Here is my one and only manlicher in 30.06 got this a few months back ,it as a 2.5-7x32 Khalsa on pivot mounts I think this may have came from factory this way,it looks identical to the one in the previous post above

I love my Luxus Model S - it balances incredibly well, is super smooth and is exceptionally accurate. Three generations of my family have taken game with it. I used it for deer this year:

I have no experience with these rifles, but have read that they are heavy and unbalanced. Like so many modern European rifles. A full stock doesn't necessarily make a rifle into a handy Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbine.

This tread should be a stickey

Mannlicher M with stock scrolling
Is this something that you don’t see to often ,maybe doesn’t appeal to most .
