Category : C
Caliber : 6,5x54 MS
Very fine Mannlicher-Schönauer mod. 1903 rifle, made in 1927 by Österreichischen Waffenfabrik-Gesellschaft Steyr for the English market and modified to the British taste.
This model is fitted with a 22½" barrel equipped with a special three leaves wide V express rear sight regulated on the traditional German silver caterpillar front bead set on the banded checkered front ramp soldered at the barrel mouth.
In addition this rifle is equipped with a 26mm steel tube TELL Wetzlar 4x R.4 scope on STEYR quick detachable pivot mounts.
In addition to the modification to the metallic sights there is the presence of an excellent adjustable single stage trigger.
This rifle is built in the "take-down" or "detachable stock" form, an ingenious take apart system that preserves the original headspace while reducing the length of the assembly to that of the barreled receiver only.
The European walnut stock has a shortened forend and a more upright grip, a remarkably well executed modification, and it shows a 14¼" LOP measured on the English red rubber soft pad with lizard skin covered face.
This Mannlicher-Schönauer weighs 7lb 1oz and 8lb 12oz scoped.
The state of conservation of the whole set is remarkable, with a perfect bore and a smooth operation.
The weapon supports our unconditional guarantee.
