What make and model slings do you guys run on your Mannlichers? I picked up one of Lipsey's Ruger Hawkeyes in .260 Rem a few weeks ago. Thinking I'm going to hunt this one.

My one and only, but when I saw it I had to have it. 1896 Springfield Krag, I don't know who did the work but I love it! Rice peep sight was something I added later, it use to have a buckhorn sight on the small rib that was added to the barrel. Barrel was cut down to 20" total length is 40". Pardon the crappy cell phone pictures.

CZ 550 FS 7x57. I'd never seen one with gray metal finish and butter knife bolt handle. Trigger is a Timney, sits back in the trigger guard more than factory single set trigger. I like Timney better. DF

Lots of nice rifles for certain!! Purely a matter of taste but I think stutzen stocked rifles need that Schnabel about midway toward the muzzle. Kinda breaks up that looooonng straight line and offers a parting point to thin the stock. Steve, I am a pure "D" sucker for side panels, nice.
I have yet to decide on a picture host so can't post my two M/S rifles. Not a lot to see as one is a 1903 and the other a 1908 and there's plenty of pictures of like rifles. The 1903 has claw bases but the 1908 is totally unaltered....thank God!!!
Bill, on my Mannlicher/Schoenauer's I have Levy's slings. They still offer them for 3/4 swivels which original M/S rifles were equipped with. I assume your Ruger has 1 inch swivels and Levy's offers a pretty nice line of them as well.

I traded for this rifle. I installed a Timney trigger and I relieved the barrel channel and used an O-ring just behind the front sight base. It's not a target rifle but is plenty accurate.

Can't see your rifle pic Dave. What is it?

I LIKE IT! What a cool rifle. The duffle cut looks neat and stable....how is it connected? How does the rifle shhot?
The scope mounts are exactly the same as on my rifle. I assume the scope isn't around any more, but it is possible to have rings made to fit them. I spoke with a guy at the Hoover, AL, gun show this past weekend that has made them before and actually looked at a rifle on his table that had a set. Didn't ask his price to make them, but I suspect it ain't cheap!

Do Manners or McMillan make a full length stock. I have a Savage stainless lightweight I would like to put in one. Just trollin' guys, There are a bunch of beautiful rifles in this thread. P.S. I like stainless and nice wood, somone should try a full stock stainless gun. Probably would be a niche market, within a niche market.

i have a ruger 77 rsi mk2 308. i love the way it looks and handles. i think ruger got it right. unfortunately i don't like how it shoots. first shot is dead on. from then on it scatters them pretty bad over about a 3" group. i know there is some work that can be done on the fore end cap and barrel channel but just haven't mucked with it. any suggestions?

I don't recall having ever seen a mannlicher style synthetic stock. Richards Micro-Fit and Wenig are the only companies currently offering after-market mannlicher style stocks and they are at opposite ends of the cost scale. The small, non-cataloged, runs of Ruger RSIs that Lipsey's contracts for and the Remington Custom Shop's 7MS are the only factory built stainless rifles with mannlicher style stocks that I know of, other than the Ruger 10/22s that have been regularly offered over the past 20+/- years.

I have had good success by installing a soft neoprene O-ring between the stock and the barrel about 1/3 back from end of the stock. The soft neoprene conforms to the contour interface between the barrel and the stock, providing support and absorbing barrel flex. This works about 90% of the time. It doesn't work as well with rubber O-rings, as they are less pliable than neoprene.
