Mannlicher pics needed...
I have a .308 Featherweight M-70 (new action CRF)that I am thinking of rebarreling to .358 Win and restocking in the Mannlicher style.

I'd appreciate pics of the overall rifle, cheekpiece, grip layout, checkering, etc... to get a few ideas.

Suggestions are appreciated as well.

Thanks all!

the one you want to look at is Forrest B's Mannilcher style G.33/40. I think a search will turn up some photos of it.

Here is his 7X57. He has a great picture with it and a deer he has posted on half the internet.

This rifle leaves me speechless everytime I see it. Here is a link to that other picture.

This is my old 358 Norma using an FN action. Not in that 7X57 class but another shape.



As usual just my $.02

That's a sweet looking rifle. Any idea of the barrel length and who did the work?

Forrest, any chance I can get a few full size pics?

I think Forrest once said that Duane Wiebe made that rifle for him. Looks to be either a 20 or 22 inch barrel.
