In all the furthest corner of my gun store, covered by an inch of dust, I found this one.

Love the Mannlicher-Schoenhauer range.. I had a 9.5x57 MS made in 1910, with the J type magazine!

Nice GK HWL! I really like the Mannlicher-Schoenauer too. I have a 1908 proofed in 1919:

Sorry for this... today, it is almost impossible to get a 9,5x57 Mannlicher-Schoenauer...

...in my little MS collection is a Take Down and a "Stutzen" ... sometimes I think about to hunt with on an african trip.

..perfect for pigs in Europe

Have exactly the same rifle in .270. It was equipped with a detachable Griffin & Howe side scope mount which both looks very period and works perfectly.

53 gr of N540 will accelerate 175 gr Sierra Pro Hunter....

Tomorrow is range day, ....and I will awaken this rifle to a new life!

Old thread I know, but nice rifles. I am actually pondering the purchase of one, a '65 GK. We shall see.....

My biggest concern it the scope arrangement. It has the high claw mounted 4X Hensoldt and with the low comb buttstock I can see a riser likely would be needed to get any kind of cheek weld and swapping scopes out is not really an option and 4x is just OK.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,
