I had no idea there were such ergonomic issues with that model...it wouldn't matter to me, though. I think everything about it as ugly as a baboon's ass. Different strokes for different folks.
I like to look at most mannlicher stocked rifles, but they are stalking rifles and, for me, need to come to the shoulder with proper eye alignment.
I have a few Interarms Mark X mannlichers, including 2 of that style on which I replaced the bolt handles with conventional units from Brownell's and the DSTs with Timneys.
If you've never handled a mannlicher stocked Husqvarna, you've missed out on a rifle that handles and points like an quail gun should.
