I was gifted these rifles by the widow of a friend in Memphis. He was a doctor and loved to hunt and fish, especially turkey hunt.
He purchased these rifles new in 1977. They originally had Mannlicher 4 power scopes mounted but I removed them and added other scopes. The Model L is chambered in 22-250 and has been fired less than 25 times. Has the double set triggers. He took it on a prairie dog hunt out west and said he fired it maybe 10 times. I put 7 rounds down the pipe when I put the Nikon scope on it. I need to shoot it more than I do.
The Model M Luxus is chambered in 30.06 and I've killed several deer with it. I take it out at least once every deer season. The craftsmanship on these rifles is amazing. European Walnut stocks and detachable magazines.
Both barrels are cold hammer peened and have a beautiful hammered texture. Fit and finish are second to none.
Anyway...a couple of 55 year old Steyr-Mannlicher rifles not often seen.
