This turned out to be the "ace " I wanted.
I am a sucker for a full stock.

So it's an Oberndorf 1896 Mauser with a 243 Win barrel all put in a Mannlicher stock? How long is that barrel, by the way.

We need a range report, too.

The barrel is 24" I think lol......it is long.
I believe these were built by Flaig in the 50's-60's so must have been somebody's baby by the condition it is still in.

Range report.....oh Yeah I'm ready. : - )

That's neat. Didn't know about them. Thanks for sharing and curious to learn how it shoots.
