The strain is too much for me

I am left-handed and prefer single shots and muzzleloaders. But this advertisement has been repeating for more than a month. I do not know the seller. I do not know where the seller is in Montana. I have not seen the rifle.

Mannlicher-Schoenaur 1952 for sale

Looks like a very fair price for a 1952 Carbine. The 30-06 is by far the most common chambering but the MS 1950's and 1952's still had some of the cachet of the pre-war models.

The only problem I encounter with these two models is the large comb drop really exaggerates recoil when using iron sights. They catch me right under my cheekbone and within a few shots, I'm ready to yell "Calfrope!"
For some reason, mounting a scope seems to make the felt recoil ease off.
