These were truly designed and engineered to be used without scopes. They were particularly regarded as light, quick handling brush and timber guns with instinctive 'point and shoot' characteristics when quickly brought to the shoulder ('snap shooting') and using the iron sights. The Mannlicher Schönauer sporting rifles and carbines were, indeed, known for their 'feel'. What have your experiences been with shooting this caliber? How about sourcing ammo or reloading components for it? I would love to hear what you have to say about it. I may have the opportunity to purchase one of these (also in a full stock version) but have been hesitating for several reasons, not the least of which is ammo availability. The 9.5X57 is not one that I am familiar with except in books, and even then, there is not too much out there. I am very interested in the 1910 model and caliber also. It shoots great with factory ammo, and just "feels right" in the hands. I have really come to appreciate this little MS Carbine. I'll start with a question of his regarding the M1910 and my (rather long winded) reply: I'm a new member here, having joined to post replies to another member's excellent inquiry regarding the M1903, and found myself thinking "How about a thread focused on the pre WW2 Mannlicher Schönauer?"
