Mannlicher Rifles

I am curious to see if anybody here owns any mannlicher rifles? My grandfather passed away and left these beautiful guns to my father, uncles and oone to me. I recieved a model MCA 270. that has never been fired, but I am considering using it for hunting.

It is still a 270. A good gun. If it truely has never been fired you will decrease its resale value when you put the first round through it. Sounds like there is some sedimental value here? Myself I would hunt with it and thank my grandfather everytime I killed a deer or bear with it.

Thats what I am thinking. The gun even after being fired will still be worth a lot oof money, but I will NEVER sell it so it really dosent matter, its just a beautiful gun that I am going to enjoy hunting with.

In general, you cut the value of a "collector's gun" just about in half the first time you fire it. If you don't intend to keep this as a "collector's item," though, then it doesn't matter.

Hunting Tip: How to Track Wounded Game

The goal of all hunters is a quick, humane kill where the animal drops in it's tracks and is dead within seconds. But in a pursuit that has as many variables as hunting, sometimes things don't quite go according to plan. However, game can be tracked and recovered with the right skills and with patience. First of all, you need to wait the right amount of time after the shot before tracking a wounded animal. I've heard estimates of waiting 30 minutes for a hit in the vitals and 5-8 hours for a...
