Hello ladies and gentlemen, i am a new rifle hunter, and i am looking to pick up my first rifle in the very near future.
I have thrown my love on the Mannlicher Schoenauer carbines, and have been reading up about them recently. Yet i still find myself with some important questions, questions that i hope this great forum, can help me answer. Here comes one:
A. I have been offered two MS rifles, one is a 1950 carbine in 6.x54, with a swing mount and a 2,5-6x36 nickel scope.
The second is a 7x57 MCA carbine from the late 60ies, with a 2,5-?x20 weaver scope.
The latter rifle is seemingly in slightly better condition, but both are in over all good shape.
So which one should i choose, and for what reasons?
I look forward to reading your answers, and hopefully become a bit wiser on this most fascinating rifle.
Best regards,
Hugin
