The Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer Magnum Mod MC is a remarkable bolt-action rifle that stands out for its precision engineering and historical significance. Manufactured by the renowned Steyr Arms in Austria, this model combines the legacy of classic craftsmanship with modern refinements. Chambered in the potent .264 Winchester Magnum, this rifle is designed for those who seek both performance and elegance. A prized possession among collectors and hunters alike, this rifle is in very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. The bore is in excellent condition with a clean, mirror finish, and well-defined rifling.
Note that the bolt does not match the action and appears to be an MCA non-magnum bolt, and there are various signs of long-term storage such as rust and grime, but the bluing remains clean.
This sale includes the barreled action only, featuring a 26-inch blued barrel, bolt assembly, rotary magazine, and bottom metal. It is important to verify the chambering with a gunsmith, as the action is marked 264 kal with a matching serial number on the barrel. The rifle's internal rotary magazine ensures smooth feeding with its 5-round capacity, and the distinct butterknife bolt handle adds a touch of sophistication. Sold as-is, this rifle is in need of a high-grade walnut stock to complete its elegant look, transforming it into a true showpiece.
The Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer Magnum is celebrated for its innovative design and reliability. Known for its superb accuracy and smooth bolt-action operation, it is ideal for hunting medium to large game over long distances. The .264 Win. Mag. caliber offers a perfect blend of flat trajectory and significant stopping power, appealing to precision marksmen and big-game hunters.
The rifle's blued finish not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also ensures durability. Owning this rifle means possessing a piece of firearm history, a testament to Steyr's enduring quality and performance. Whether you're a collector or an enthusiast of traditional hunting rifles, the Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer Magnum Mod MC is an exceptional choice.
