1903 Mannlicher-Schoenauer

[Patocazador]

If you're looking for more brass...https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/category/categoryId/702?

I've found the Speer Flat base 140 and the Hornady 160 RN to be especially accurate in 3 different 6.5 bores, one of which was a Greek Bannerman? carbine conversion in 6.5x54MS. If you wish to upgrade your scope, I would be a buyer for that old Lyman!

I got the Norma cases (half of them were new) for $0.24/ each. It was less than the PPU cases.

I think I'll hang on to the Lyman scope.
It's perfect for deer hunting to 100 yds., especially at twilight but not for bullseye shooting.

That's very nice! There's something about a Mannlicher full stock and butter knife bolt handle that just screams sophistication

I went through my dad’s rifles today. He has one that looks quite similar in 270. It’s s/n is in the 9k range. Smooth. Double sets break very light. Nice shape. Can’t wait to shoot it.

What is bullet size .264? Or is it the larger .267? Just curious.

That's pretty like a supermodel! Or maybe more like a pinup girl. Very nice.

Reminds me of many years ago I had a Dr friend that owned one in 257 Weatherby —- of memory serves me correctly.
Nice rifle you have there!!!
