Lefty Mauser. Well worth the tremendous effort required to click, the more you look at it the wilder it gets.

I have a Model 72 Steyr Mannlicher 30-06 that is my go to rifle. Deadly accurate, beautiful gun fast handling 20" barrel. I bought it used almost 40 years ago and love it! I also have a Remington Model 721 30-06 with a custom Maple Full Stock with a Schnabel end. My Dad made the stock in the early 60's it was his go to rifle, and now I've been known to take it out occasionally. My other is a Steyr 1956 Mannlicher Schonauer 257 Roberts. Action is slick as snot on a door knob!

Need to scope this up someday. That is a beautiful rifle! Care to share any info about it? The rifle is a 270 pre 64 model 70. The factory barrel was shortened to 20" and recontoured. I had the front sight added. I started a thread on here about converting a pre 64 featherweight to a full stock rifle and a member here directed me to this rifle for sale in Colorado. It has a few scars from being hunted with.

Winchester did make a few M70 with full stocks in the early '70's, but they were pushfeed models. I know it is not factory, but a CRF M70 with a full stock would just about be ideal. And, it looks like your conversion was really well done. Any idea who did the work?
Can you provide a link to the thread you mentioned?

Hook and Geedubya you guys have a great selection of F/S rifles. I now have to wipe off the keyboard. Be Well, Rustyzipper.
