Like the British the Austrians used deep grooves of 0.008" deep. The 0.268 groove is not a problem in my experience both the 1893 vintage Steyr in the 6.5x53R and the re-barrelled MS have this grove dimension yet the actual bore diameter is 0.256" just as it should be. My own Schoenauer has a brand new Steyr barrel fitted but it does need a new stock.

many do not realise that Africa was still largely unexplored still in 1905 plus nitro or white powder was still really in it's infancy. Most of the information and reports in that 1905 book were of the late 1890's as it took weeks to get to Africa, safaris took months, so everything was old before it was in fact published. The author hanging off a tree limb by the lever of his 577/450 Martini trying to eject the fired case, the chamber was badly pitted but it was all he could afford, and the case had fire formed into the pitting.

Those are just a couple that I recall from the books.

I know it has been popular in the UK, because I have run across so many rifles or carbines ( not many full stock ) which were stocked by Westley Richards and other gun makers. The low recoil and slick action makes a second shot very fast. It is about the epitome of weight, balance, and power for truly stalking the hills and woods. What a lovely rifle! I sold it to a friend who had been searching for an affordable one for years. I only hunted with it for one year, and never loaded for it, because it came with over 120 rounds of RWS ammunition. I just could not let it fall into the wrong hands. I got it from the original owner, and elderly gentleman who was selling it, a Stery M Luxus carbine in.
I used to own a 6.5x54 Mannlicher Schoenauer, 1952 Carbine with a Zeiss 4x. Brithunter mentioned that he had a 6.5x54 Mannlicher rifle, and I notice how many deer hunters here use some sort of 6.5mm.ĭo any more of you shoot this older rifle?
