Don't know about the cost but it seems that those rifles are again available. Would indeed like to have one in 7x64 mm but even used they are still pretty expensiive.

Niiiiiiiceeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid the $ to Euro exchange rate is going to make those rifles pretty painful for us Americans.

Hey DUK!! Which ones?? The Original Mannlicher-Schoenauer, or the Steyr-Mannlichers of recent years, which don't hold a candle to the originals???

Looks like an exact reproduction of the original Mannlicher-Schoenauer.

It seems the guy learned the gunsmithing trade at Mannlicher and all parts are interchangable with the original MS rifle.

Didn't dare to inquire regarding the price, though...

Eldeguello,

These rifles are exact replicas of the old Mannlicher Schonauers with all parts interchangeable though some custom options which were not available before are offered.

The company are weird to deal with. I sent them a mail after trying to call them and leaving a message on their answering machine asking for prices etc. They sent me a New Years' greeting card three months later with an apology for not replying earlier because they had been busy. No details at all about any of their products. And the reply was in German, a language that another member here helped me translate.

Thanks, y'all, for the kind responses and the information. I hope this new enterprise flourishes, and is not just a small-scale, one rifle per year outfit, like Cascade Arms seems to be!
