Nothing wrong with a hat !
. Mine is a BSA CF2 in .308 I’ve never used a bipod and it would
Look hideous n a stutzen. I use my binos or roesack ( yes Loden) if I need to take a shot prone.
I’d scratch that itch if I were you ( the OP) as I’d wanted one since I was a teenager and this came up for sale when I had a vacant slot for a 308. It’s loud, but I wear 3m electronic ear plugs if using it. It comes to the shoulder like a shotgun and is light and well balanced. I love having it. ( the one in the hat photo is the first stutzen, a Zastava).

Problem is, stutzen are a gateway drug to drilling...

They always go way over. Think the low estimates are just to catch an eye

Yes it was. I had and still have a Sako P94S so I decided Zi didn’t need it
Ugh that would have done me champion
think they were more popular in the states as they don’t use a mod anywayStalker-of-the-deer

One day il get hold of a stutzen stock for my 404 and get a nice classic caliber barrel for it. Classic with a modern twist. I like the idea!
OH god I now have the itch big time - but with a twist which I hope is impossible to fulfill.
I shoot mainly roe and munties on own grounds and all for own or friends consumption. Have a S&L in .243, which is as accurate as get out and in my eyes a thing of beauty. Just a bit long for woodland quick shooting on the munties.
Consequently mussing a variation for a .222 or .22-250 on the basis of less carcass damage and more appropriate for some of my grounds. yada yada etc
Get on with local firearms chap so confident it would come through sharpish. Famous last words!
So a stutsen with nice wood in a smaller caliber ! Rare as hens teeth ? Would be a neat thing and I think very handy for a munty stalk.
What do the good folk of SD recon ?

Mannlicher used to make them, I remember looking at a stutzen in .222.
It was about a yard long and weighed less than 6Lbs. Had it been a .22/250 I’d have taken it.
I bought a model M stutzen in .270 a few years later and kept it for over 10 years, it would group into less than 2” with anything, most grouped better than that, and shot it almost any load or bullet weight to the same point of impact.
Wish I still had it.

Over the years I’ve owned a pair of Sako Mannlicher stocked rifles from the 60’s and both were in 222 . The first had a 24” barrel and a clip . The second was a 20” .
