Except that the rifle is a Mauser in a stutzen stock, not a Mannlicher. 'Course, nearly everyone who sees a full stock calls them a Mannlicher ever since the 1903 Mannlicher/Schoenauer, even though they aren't. Nice rifle, excellent cartridge!!

It's surprisingly handy with that 20" barrel.

Yes they are handy shinbone!! I have two Mannlicher/Schoenauers, a 1903 in 6.5 X 54 and a 1908 in 8 X 56 and both are....simply a delight to carry and use. Both their barrels are even shorter than yours but, I don't know if I'd want any less in a 270. The two Mannlicher cartridges are pretty mild by comparison.
Yours appears that the fore stock wood is well done!! So many leave enough wood in the fore arm to have made a baseball bat. My stutzen stocked CZ, 22LR is like that. Pretty from a distance but enough wood in the forearm to use for a baseball bat.

I clicked into this thread with zero knowledge of what a Mannlicher was. Thanks for the needed context. Also, nice rifle!

Bear in mind that is a 98 type action. Mannlicher action is different with a split rear action ring and has butter smooth bolt operation.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Those are some really nicely-focused close-ups. Far from flattering though.
BTW mannlicher literally means "masculine" or "manly" in German.

Nice carbine. I picked up one just like it 'ceptin it was chambered in 7x57, NIB. Imagine that, a forty year old unfired carbine. What I gave for mine was shameful! Enjoy!

I have a Steyr Mannlicher in 243 Win. I'll post photos sometime tomorrow. Not sure how to properly identify it, but it's a beauty. Heading out to my boys wrestling tournament now.

I remember selling those Mark X’s back in the late 70’s/ early 80’s!
My old pard had a rifle I lusted for when we were kids. Sako Vixen .222 Rem with mannlicher stock.
