Interesting Gun

[Lawdwaz]

Not many wood handled guns get my attention anymore, this one did though.

For some reason I can’t get the link up from GunsInternational.com.  It’s left hand Mannlicher Model M 270win full stock with DST & factory QD scope mounts.  $1795

I'll always be a fan of fine wood and blued steel.

I’ve always like the looks of a mannlicher stock. I’ve owned a few M77’s and still have a 10/22 that had them. They’re heavy and serve no purpose, but they do look nice!

I also have a Ruger International 10/22, blued version.   
 

I think my attraction to them was from formed from John Wotters.  He had a .308 he used quite often and it could have been a Sako off the top of my head.   I’d have to dust off the book upstairs to confirm.   Later….

Sitters did use a full stock Sako .308.

My Ruger 10-22 Mannlicher, purchased in Bucks Gun Rack in Daytona Beach has a four digit serial number.

I have had two over the years, i had ad soft spot for them. 

I have sold them both never been impressed with how they shoot.  Had a  steyr 6.5 sweed  with a butter knife bolt handle and ruger 1 in 7x57 .    Both turds

My sako bavarian carbine 308 with a mannlicher stock is a tack driver.  Almost too pretty to beat up in the woods, but I do use it.

Darned auto- correct. I meant to confirm that John Wooters did use and wrote about his Sako .308.  Now that you mention it, Sutton was a favorite of mine as well.

LOL not Sutton, Gary Sitton.   He’s a worthy Google for those interested.

all these references must have been before my time. lol

my widowed great grandmother remarried very early on and he had a rifle that looks like that. I know it's a mannlicher stock but not sure if it's that same mfg and model. my uncle ended up with it and now my cousin. i don't recall the others saying it was a tack driver but don't recall them complaining about it not being accurate either. i'll have to ask my cousin what it is.
