Now that is what I've been waiting for, the 6.5x55 and 7x57 are PROPER rounds for a Mannlicher stocked rifle, well, along with the original 6.5x54.
The story of David & Goliath only demonstrates the superiority of ballistic projectiles over hand weapons, poor old Goliath never had a chance.

That is a rifle of absolute beauty! The price tag seems reasonable for the quality of the finished product.

I called my dealer about that rifle a few weeks ago.  Lipsey's didn't have them yet, and told him 6 - 8 Weeks!
