I have 2 that are very close in age the oldest a remington model 14 in 30 rem made in 1920, the other made in 1921 is a model 1905 Mannlicher Schoenauer in 9x56 MS. I hunt deer and hogs with both. Neither wears a scope and both are utilized while still hunting as befits their purpose. I reload for both as neither is made commercially in a very long time. I always get a lot of questions when anyone sees me hunting with them. Never seen another of them either hunting or in LGS. See a few 14’s in 35 rem from time to time but never a Mannlicher particularly in the 9x56 caliber. Both obsolete but nobody told the deer or hogs as they tip over same as if they were 30-06. I really enjoy hunting with these old gents as they make you hunt not snipe.


Life is too short to hunt with ugly guns.
