A pair of custom Mannlichers for Africa

[Jefferry404]

Beautiful, practical,

Personally I would prefer a non fold down rear sight, unless the sight interferes with the scopes.

Rear sight is 1 fixed with 1 folding leaf, best of both.

OMG you just made me drool all over my phone. I know what I will ask Santa for Christmas now. The absolutely perfect safari pairing that could be imagined. I am so jealous I may have to go to confession over these.

Thanks! I told my gunsmith he shouldn’t have built this pair as I would never need to build anymore from him. Has now been over 5 years.

MS 9x56,
To add fuel to your fire, the buttplate black is
actually inlaid Gabon ebony

Perhaps this is too American a saying but "your killing me Smalls". Google the movie The Sandlot watch it and you will know what I mean. Those rifles will never be whole until they have been to Africa on Safari. "Simply marvelous darling".

Tasteful selection, excellent execution, perfectly balanced choice of calibers, all the boxes checked, even down to alpha glass...and in no way to disparage, but mannlicher STOCKED, not Mannlicher-as in-Schoenauer...

Beautiful, two classic calibers too!

I should note the reason for using Talley CZ rings they are wide to fit the CZ bridges and this allows the GMA bridges to be machined wide vs regular Talley rings are narrow to fit their scope bases, as seen on this machined square bridge. Better aesthetics.

Talley Regular, about 0.2 to 0.3 narrower

Wow. Those are not only superb rifles, they are masterpiece art works. May I ask who your gunsmith is that made these masterpieces??

Gotta love the case colors!
