Very enjoyable thread. Congratulations to all on your Mannlichers.

Very beautiful pieces of machinery.

I too always saw the romanticsim and history of the true Mannlichers and therefore wanted one. However they are priced outside of what I would care to pay.

As a "third best" choice I have a Ruger RSI Mannlicher in .243 Winchester.

At one time Interarms imported a Mauser/Mannlicher with a butter-knife bolt and double set triggers, but it was no competition to a real Mannlicher.

Winchester and Sako also made Mannlichers but they always looked like clubs to me.
