Steyr-Mannlicher Greek Bolt-Action Rifle 6.5 x 54mm Carcano Mix Eatons Rifle

This particular example appears to be sporterized in that the top wood is missing form
a Military version - plus the lower stock is clearly a hunting stock with cheek weld and
some nice checkering. Plus it has a nice Stag Horn grip cap.

It’s in good overall condition As such, it is defect-free and has no issues to note.

Comes with a Set Trigger system.
The barrel measures 21-inches in length and includes its front blade sight and rear
iron sight. The rear sight has two flip ups - one for 200 yards and one for 300..

The bore is good with strong rifling, it would probaly shoot very well.

The woodwork is very nice with some wear from use and handling but no major cracks
or other imperfections. The rifles barrel bands, trigger guard, and buttplate are all in
good shape and fit nicely.
There is no stamps or markings on this rifle.

The mag appears to be a typical Carcano mag, a Mannlicher Schoenauer, civilian or mil Greek, has
a detachable rotary mag. After WW2 Winchester bought many surplus mil. Carcano rifles and
reworked them for hunting rifles which were then distributed by Eatons. It was common to fit them
with a double set trigger and to re-barrel them with the 6.5x54MS calibre since the 6.5x54MS
(SP hunting ammo) was readily available in Canada but the 6.5x52Carcano ammo not or only as
FMJ ammo which was prohibited to hunt with.
The 6.5 x 54mm Mannlicher Schonauer also known as 6.5 x 54 Mannlicher Schonauer Greek or
simply 6.5 Greek is a 6.5 mm (.264 cal.) rimless rifle cartridge used in the
Mannlicher Schonauer rifle. It was a the direct descendant of the 6.5 x 53mmR rimmed
cartridge from the 1891 Mannlicher rifle, designed to function smoothly through the Schonauers
rotary magazine.
6.5 mm bullets are typically known for their high ballistic coefficients and sectional density, which
gives them great stability in flight, resistance to wind deflection, and high penetrating power.
It, along with the Mannlicher Schonauer rifle, was first introduced in Paris at the 1900 World's Fair.
