Thread: Who Likes A Mannlicher?

Here's my one, a Husqvarna 1600 Mauser chambered in .243, with a full mannlicher stock. (The photo makes the barrel look longer, its actually 20.5 inches.) Only got it the other day and although it's not mint, it is immaculate, which means a virgin no one has fucked with. Even still has the front sight hood still.
It will shoot 95 grain SST's into around an inch for 3030fps, and is a real pleasure to shoot.

thanks for the photo mate but will haunt me all day - today I saw a thing of rare beauty - now in a land where all wishes are granted I would park that in my beer place along with an MV Agusta 1000 sports bike - my good 12 pointer head -and look at them all day and be in a very happy place - and just to be really stupid here Julia Roberts bringing the cold ones out

Bloody lovely...

Surely you mean "stutzen" . . . Mannlicher was a bloke who designed rifle actions, rather good at it too.

That 7x64 CZ is an incredibly ugly gun ....................

Just shitting ya ................

Here's my stutzen in 7x64, a CZ. Beautifully "reconfigured by @FRST who stripped off a bit of the OTT "euro" styling and added a nice kiwi touch. Shoots mint, 160s at 2820 into 20mm at 100M (for 3 shots anyway).

Foster that is a thing of beauty. love the stock redesign.
I once had a CZ550 full stock in 6.5x55 and I felt it was heavy, and I was picky about the stock shape, and it didnt shoot well enough for me, and maybe I wished it was a 7x57, and years later I still regret selling that rifle.

Oh I think most of us know THAT feeling. I know I certainly do...

Yes .............. and No .................
I've had some really nice stuff over the years - including Irish, English and German, and it never got used - but I did spend time looking at them.
They've gone to new homes now with new people to appreciate them ............. but I do ocassionally think about them.

I've still got my 'users' which doesn't matter too much if I drop them, but I'd probably say it took a few years to develop that mindset.
Prior to that - I cried every night .............

OH MAN im in love, again

Well, it's sort of the style of rifle stock.
It's my 12/15 BSA Martini. Made the stock from NZ Red Beech.
Fitted with a Nickel scope of about the same era.
It's quite a nice wee rifle to use, and very accurate.
Not allowed to sell it...family want it when I'm gone.

Nice. I've done a lot of rimfire hunting over the years,with both suppressed, and unsuppressed rifles, and, at least where I've been shooting, it's made no noticeable difference to my success. Being sneaky has been the decider.
