Pre-WWII Oberndorf action, Mauser Banner under the front scope ring. It was a butchered sporter when I bought it from a pawn shop in Phoenix, AZ back in 1983.
I never had one before, but being a carbine kind of a guy I always liked the looks of a Mannlicher. Then I decided that I "needed" a Ruger 77/22 and went looking on the gun sites. I happened upon a nib Ruger 77/22 RSI walnut / stainless and it came home to my house. I never knew that they made such a thing and it was probably a special run. It is still a work in progress for a scope and low rings, but I kind of like it so far.
My other auto is a .45
The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
Sakoluvr is that an L579? Looks good whatever it is. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

Here is my Mauser Type M, with embellishments evidently by Griffin & Howe, caliber .30-'06 and marked "Made in Germany":
In my opinion, Mauser really knew how to make a full stocked rifle without making it look clubby. The proportions on the front part of the stock are perfect. The Mannlicher-Schoenauer pattern is followed even to the horseshoe type sling attachment.
styer model m in 30.06 should shoot it more i just don't...going to move it down the road to fund some gear for the kids. I also have a CZ mannlicher in 22 hornet the thing is a bunch of fun.

Nice rifle!
You're right ..... A lot of gunmakers get the forend wrong. They usually look clubby and triangular. The Rugers are too short.

Husqvarna is near perfection IMHO with their 456:
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
Mauser 96, 6.5x55. Ed Lapour safety, NEGC Sights, stock by Wenigs and a bunch of other really great work by Mark Penrod (who took far better pictures of it than I can)
