Old Mannlicher-Schoenauer
Thought I would post a few quick, fuzzy photos of an unusual milsurp.
I picked this up from an estate sale for 325 US dollars.
I was intrigued by the rotary magazine & 6.5 caliber.
I know. The addiction continues, but I like old Steyr rifles.

Perhaps it is good that the post was moved here.
There seems to be more traffic & interest in this area.

The action of my 6.5 mm Greek Mannlicher, unfortunately made into a sporter many years ago. I bought it at a gunshow over 20 years ago. Barrel is like a railway tunnel in the days of steam but it shoots very well and is spot on at 100yds.

Self Defence is not only a Right, it is an Obligation.

Isnt that all that matters with some rifles, its nice to have a museum quality piece but the temptation to shoot them is overpowering!Barrel is like a railway tunnel in the days of steam but it shoots very well and is spot on at 100yds.
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy!
