I read somewhere that a custom gunmaker in Austria is now making Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles. I don't remember where I read it but the source mentioned that the guy had a website. Can anyone tell what it is or possibly just tell me his name. I would really like to see what he is producing and I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Woodjack,
Thanks a ton for passing this on. It was exactly what I was looking for. It looks to me like he is doing exceptional work. Thanks again.

I wonder how much they will cost?

There is no doubt that the original MS were the finest made bolt action rifles the world has ever seen.

I have seen them before, quality is great. One in 6,5x54 with a .264" bore would be a great rifle

Aleko,
If not a .264 bore then what?

That is the problem with many historical Mannlicher-Schönauers.

The 9.3x62 w/ G&H sidemount.

I think what Stu C is saying that a number of 6.5x54 were overbore.

Well then a 7x64 will do nicely! You can still get the .268" bullets, just there is a much better selection in .264". I noticed RWS is loading the M-S round now, I wonder what the bore diameter is?

How about a 8x57?

I don't quite agree with MickeyI concerning the M-S being the finest bolt rifles the world has ever seen. I would rate the original Oberndorf sporters as equal and the Brno-21Hs as equal or better. I own specimens of all of these and have owned/used others, I would take an Oberndorf sporter from the mid-'30s over anything else in a 9.3x62 with claw mounts as I detest G&H mounts.
