Brass bead front sight on machine matte ramp front sight, five leaf express rear sight, one standing for 100 yards, four folding leaves for 200, 300, 400, 500 yards, with central sighting line. Mannlicher patent information on forward receiver ring with machine matting, top of bolt machine matted along sighting axis to reduce glare. Two position safety. Double set triggers, serrated butter knife bolt. Left side of receiver with "Oesterr.Waffenfabr-Ges.Steyr". Barrel shank with proof marks that have been partially destroyed and are difficult to make out, right side of shank with serial number. Classic full length Mannlicher stock with small section of wave pattern checkering at forearm, two panels of point pattern checkering at wrist, dark wood pistol grip cap, and serrated buttplate with three compartments in trap in butt, one filled with a four piece cleaning rod. Contemporary sling. CONDITION: Very good. All metal has been reblued over some visible minor oxidation under the blue, with some softening to legends as a result. Wood is very good with a few marks from handling and operation, checkering at forearm is a possible later addition as the work is of a somewhat lesser quality than the checkering at grip. Action works appropriately when cycled by hand, bore is excellent, bright and shiny, with strong rifling. Set triggers work appropriately. EW
