Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles man lickers turn me on

I still need to scope it and get a trigger job done. They are really slick guns.

I had the twin to that in 270 and it was superbly accurate. I killed a truck load of deer with it and it got sold to a fellow that does deer control in WI.

I too have a full stock Vixen in 222 Rem and it is one of my favorite coyote rifles.

No, I jumped to page two because of the thread title, I figured after you wagering in it was safe!

🤣🤣🤣

In the early 2000's, I lived just a couple blocks from the old Interarms Alexandria warehouse on the Potomic River. The business had shut down by then, but the warehouse still stood and appeared mostly empty and unused. I walked past the building a few times before I realized what it was. I wouldn't be surprised if there were still a few old gun crates, now holding only dust, kicking around in there. I even used the gunsmith that was in that building at that time. Not sure if that gunsmith ever had any connection to the Interarms business, but I bet he did.

While there were other sexier rifles on the market, I think the Mark X rifles were really good for what they were, and were a very good deal. My pictured Mark X Full Stock model is a very well made controlled round feed rifle. Nothing fancy, just a very good design that is well made at a very fair price.

The gun designer Ferdinand Mannlicher working through Steyr-Mannlicher and, later, with Otto Shoenaur, made the full stock style popular, and thus such stocks are sometimes generically referred to as "Mannlichers", much the same that blue jeans are sometimes called "Levis." Mannlicher's primary contributions to rifle technology were new breeching and magazine designs. Such design are now obsolete, but, and, despite not inventing it, the full stock pattern remains associated with his name to this day. If you do a search on Gunbroker with the term "full stock", you will get hardly any hits on such rifles. If you do a search with "mannlicher" you will get a 100's of hits showing full stock rifles of many brands, with the most common being the well-regarded Mannlicher-Shoenaur rifle with full stock.

That’s it erich!!!! Thanks!!!

I have a Winchester Model 70 .30-06 with an 18" barrel in a Mannlicher stock! Was a factory option (this one is a 1970's model, I think). Very handy rifle, accurate - and of course looks VERY GOOD! Does have a bit more recoil from the short barrel than my pre-64 Model 70 .30-06, though.

Arthur Savage also used a rotary magazine in his '95, 1899 and 99 Savage. I don't believe Savage or Schoenauer copied one or the other. Rather that it was a case of parallel development. As shinbone said, the rotary mag is considered obsolete today but, honestly, for the life of me I don't know why. In a sporting, bolt action rifle it's as useful and fully as good as a box magazine...and definitely smoother in operation. Personally, I'm quite fond of the set triggers used on most of the early M/S rifles and those built after WWII until the mid/late 50's.

My first 375 H&H was in an Interarms bolt rifle. They are about as pure a '98 Mauser as can be had without actually saying Mauser. Consequently, yes, they are fine rifles. I no longer have the Interarms 375 H&H but it's been replaced by a bunch of German pre-WWI and between the wars Mausers. Both 98 and 96. Gotta love 'em!!

I recently bought this Mark X 270. It has the double set triggers and the spoon handle bolt. I'm in the process of installing a Timney trigger. I have a Mannlicher MC carbine chambered for the 7x57 too.

Fond of Mannlicher's myself:









But my favorite Stutzen is this one:

Creedmorons like man lickers too.

I have one chambered in 7x57 it’s a shooter

cz brno 22f 8x57

I have a couple 'o those. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

Yeah, my Husqvarna is one of my favorite Full Stocked rifles as well.



It gets the most use anyway.

Though, I kinda like this one:

i've had a 77rsi in 308 for many years. i love the way it looks, feels and handles. first shot out of a cold barrel is dead on. from there on out, it starts to string them. never really troubleshot it but someday, i'd like to figure out what needs done. never needed more than one shot with that gun anyway.

I like my 9X56 about the best of all. But I have a couple that might be 358 Winchesters one day. A Ruger tanger in 308 and a 243 Mark X single trigger. Much easier to get ammo in 358 Winchester than 9x56. But neither of those are as classy as an 05 Steyr. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

Need to scope this up someday.

That is a beautiful rifle! Care to share any info about it?
