Jrr230 – Welcome from another M-S owner! I have a 1961 Model MCA in.30-06. It’s the sporter stocked, 22” barrel rifle. Over the course of two years, this forum and a gentleman over in Germany, I have collected all the information I think I can.
I have come to the conclusion that my rifle was made in 1966, the fore end cap is possibly ebony, and the white spacers in the PG cap and at the butt plate are possibly ivory. These firearms were meticulously manufactured (hence their demise) by hand, and handle and shoot like it. I have not handled a prettier, perfect functioning, inherently accurate rifle, not to say they don’t exist. The drawbacks are that I would never take it in the woods, or hunting at all I am sure, and I am MOST careful when I do take it to the range. I don’t believe in collecting firearms to admire them, I don’t judge those that do, I believe in using the tool for it’s purpose, at least keeping the bore in use by punching holes in paper. Though I had a rocky start with this rifle due to a loose stock and shooting loads heavier than I was comfortable with, I have found this rifle to be a joy to shoot with the right ammunition. It goes with me to the range each time, if only for a few or ten rounds.

To my knowledge it has never been fired and is as new. When I purchased it I was told that it was 1 of only 100 that were made in 264mag. It seems like they said that a gun club had them made for each of it's members. The serial number is 58xxx. Anybody have any knowledge, thoughts or ideas? Hi, I hate to throw water on your parade, but the.264 Winchester was a regular catalog item from Steyr in the late 50s and thru 1966 (Latest reference I have in Shooter's Bible) The serial number range for your rifle is right for a 1966 MCA model.
That 1 of a hundred line has been going around for years with the magnum model Mannlicher-Schoenauers, 257 Weatherby,.338,.300 Mag, even.458 Winchester. All of these were regular listed calibers according to Shooters Bible and Steyr pamphlets, same applies for the later Steyr-Mannlicher.

Llsierra - This is an interesting post on the magnum Mannlicher Schoenauers. From the advertising, one would think that thay are quite common, but I've been watching for an 8X68 'shooter' for a couple of years without much luck.
In fact, the only two magnums I've seen are a 6.5X68 that passed thru Auction Arms a while back, and a high grade.338 that is currently on Guns America. Do you have any feeling for how many magnums were imported? Larry As for the numbers imported, I really do not have a clue, but I would definitely assume more than a hundred, simply because they were listed for over 10 years in Shooter's Bible, and not all that expensive. I have actually seen all of them except for the.257 Weatherby. Fastgsm Bcm 1 0 0 30 Keygens. I have friends/acquaintances who, collectively, own all of the other calibers.
