I have a weakness for the Mannlicher version too, for familial reasons, but yours is a classic -- and, as you say, the caliber is more convenient.Chas S.

A closer look and you can see the gap in the mounts. Since they're secure and the gun shoots, I'm sure they'll work. If the bases are Weaver it'll be no problem to trade them out for some lower rings and then the whole package will really look nice.mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-17912401990741125082009-09-24T10:34:14.177-07:002009-09-24T10:34:14.177-07:00Anonymous-- I think it is an Oberndorff gun, rebar...Anonymous-- I think it is an Oberndorff gun, rebarreled, but I am not sure of Mauser markings (the "Cadillac" is on a Czech sporting action).<br /><br />I love Mannlicher- Schoenauers-- have only owned one, in 30.06, and it was not very accurate. I really want a 6.5, but at tthis economic stage of my life it would probaly have to be another gift!<br /><br />MDMNM-- I forgot to say-- how did you even see those scope mounts? They are awkward and will probably be replaced some day, but it is still accurate.Steve Bodiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434597061701369867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-13378933945958879092009-09-24T07:59:42.798-07:002009-09-24T07:59:42.798-07:00Steve,

Hope you're able to make game with it soon.mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-66137031676270822012009-09-23T20:39:56.992-07:002009-09-23T20:39:56.992-07:00Steve--What a lithe, lovely rifle--if your other e...Steve--What a lithe, lovely rifle--if your other equates to a '59 Caddy, this looks more like a Jag XKE. Is it an Oberndorf gun, or marked with a maker's name? Slightly off-topic, but any thoughts on the Mannlicher Schoenauer? I've been reading you for years, but can't recall any prior mention.

I'm not a fan of see-through mounts, though. <br /><br />Now that you're shooting a pre-war .270 after years with a 7x57 are you going to start channeling O'Connor?mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.com
