The mannlicher is one of my all time favorite rifles and the 6.5 is a excellent round. You can buy shells on several internet sites. 160 gr round nose bullets and every thing they hit it falls dead. I use a carbine 17 inch barrel with a claw mount scope for deer,hogs,bear. It is a take down model of early manufacture (pre- 1910)- will show that works soon- and has a popup peep sight. Whether you use a rifle or carbine version you can't go wrong. And it has the most romanic provenance of any bolt action caliber with the possible exception of the ".275 Rigby" its admirers and owners include W D M "Karamojo" Bell, who is more famous for his Rigby but killed many ELEPHANTS with this "adequate little deer rifle" Roy Chapman Andrews, Hemingway and his wives, Karen Blixen, Denys Finch Hatton (whose personal one was auctioned for five figures a few years ago) and Colonel Sheldon of Denali fame.įor fanatics only pix will do. Sometimes I love the Internet.įor non- rifle nerds (or as John Barsness calls them, "Rifle Loonies") the little carbine is not only light and smooth and low- recoiling, a perfect gun for a slightly compromised old hunter it is uniquely deadly, "punching above its weight" with a long heavy skinny 160 grain bullet. Tools and loads are coming in from him and Steve in Washington, and another rifle was offered by the Atomic Nerds. Thanks to readers, especially Malcolm in Montana, I have just gotten one- a unique one at that, and at a good price.
