A Manlicher rifle is by far the smoothest bolt action rifle you will ever handle. Most of the time at a bargin price. You just have to be careful about the scope mounts. They are hard to find if missing.

There’s a guy in Indiana I believe that makes them , all be it $165 a set of bases . On my four I have original Redfields on the 270 and 06 . My 243 was set up for the old B&L Balvar scope with windage and elevation adjustment in the base , it now has a set from the guy in Indiana . My 308 has a Pachmayer side mount that flops over for iron sights and down the road I’ll change it as well . I used to agree with these being the smoothest actions but I gotta give notice that the Mauser 66 action is pretty darn smooth also .

I remember looking in a 74 or 75 Shooters Bible and seeing the Bianchi Cobra slings . So one way or another I’ve scratched around and found four of the Bianchi slings in very nice shape and have one now on each rifle .

My 06 did very well with factory REM Core-Lokt 150’s and 165’s as well as WIN 150 Whitetail’s . Now for the last two weeks I’ve been working on handloads with the Nosler 150 BT , 150 AB and 165 BT as well as the Hornady 150 SST and 165 SST . I’m trying to use what I consider an older “traditional” 06 powder so I’ve been using four IMR powders 4064 4895 4320 and 3031 . That’s partially because I have several pounds of each and so far I have 3-5 good loads for each bullet . I think in about two more weeks I’ll be settled on loads for all five bullets . Once I’ve plunked deer with those five bullets I may try some Swift 165 Scirrocos as I have a box of them on the shelf waiting to be used in something .

I’ve got a MEC Steelmaster 12 gauge loader and at the moment I have it set for 3” . If I get all the other stuff I wanna get tested taken care of , I think I might load some 0 and 2 buckshot and see what I get at 25 and 50 yards .
