while I was offline this past winter I picked up 3 new to me sako rifles. let to right: AN AV Classic in 30-06, an AV hunter in .270 (best wood I've ever seen on a factory Sako), and on the right, an AII Hunter in .243 which was a bucket list rifle for me, I looked for years to find a really clean one. I'm loading for all 3 right now, range reports to come.

I'd still like a vintage Vixen in 222 Rem. but something else always takes precedence.
1908 Mannlicher.Schoenauer. The 1903 through 1910 Mannlicher/Schoenauer's were the smoothest bolt action rifles ever made, bar none. The early 50's models run a very close second.

Sort of as with Sako/Seiko, there's Husqvarna. Saw a post somewhere the other day a fella thought all Husky did was power equipment. Husqvarna '96 Mauser in 9.3 X 57.

I used to fall into that category. In reality, they made nicer guns than power equipment.

I'm jealous.

I have several of their double barrel shotguns. A "repeating rifle" (that is a bolt-action centerfire) and a "miniature rifle" (a bolt action 22).

But I don't have a roller, and I don't have any of their pistols.

Here ya' go Sharps. Sako Vixen in .222 Magnum ( :eek: )...



....I'd be willing to bore that out to 6mm. :thumbsup:
Will the bolt close and seat by itself?

With a pre WW2 Mannlicher Schoenauer, after unloading or loading with inert 'dummy' cartridges for safety, one can open the bolt, pull the trigger and simply tilt the muzzle downward.
At about thirty to forty five degrees, the bolt will slide home and close completely with a satisfying 'snap' as if by magic.

A stutzen stock does not a Mannlicher make. It's the legendary action and overall 'old school' build quality

The only thing that would be better than a Vixen in 222 Rem. in a Stutzen stock would be a Vixen in 222 Rem. Mag in a Stutzen stock. Please, before you ream it, give me an opportunity to relieve you of the temptation.
