Very cool!
I really like the 1893/95 Mannlicher sporters.
 
Harold Wolf used to do restorations on rifles like that. I bet he could make it look showroom new.
 
You are uniformed with the process he used. He removed the oil soaking from the wood, oil soaked dirt from the metal and retained the original finish. Brought out amazing finish. Stll an old rifle.
 
Old world beauty. Hold on to that one. It’s a keeper for sure.

Do you also have the enbloc clips for the rifle ? Otherwise the weapon unfortunately becomes a single shot.

At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
