Beautiful. Love 'em....but I let my buddy talk me out of my CZ 527 FS in .223....maybe I will replace it or better yet, get that 550FS in 6.5x55 I've long wanted.
Must quit looking at this thread! I only have a Ruger 10/22 with a Mannlicher stock (regular checkered one), but the other day, was looking over a CZ 455 in .22 long rifle that is calling out to me!
A reclamation job. Came to me covered in what can best be described as spar varnish and alkanet root stain so dark it covered the grain like spilled wine. But it was nicely built and in good shape.
So after many hours of sanding and scraping, this is the stock that was hiding under all that stain...
Mine are all Anschützes, with one exception they are the elusive model 1423, built on the 54 Match action. My surplus 54 military trainer also has a lot of wood.
A fine fine collection of mannlicher stocked rifles....my modest collection.....a first year production of the Ruger 77RSI..in 308......Ruger 10/22RSI...that was the first production run of the laminated wood......CZ527FS..223.....CZ452...22lr.....
on my wish list....when I see one...is the CZ550FS...30.06....
I have finally found a load...that my Ruger 77/44....likes....now if I could just get it in a laminated wood mannlicher stock....
