Does anyone use one of these regularly?
I have a 1906 Mannlicher-Schoenauer with open sights and a diminishing stock of Kynoch ammo (also pretty antique) and am wondering what to do with it. It's not especially practical but is a wonderful gun to handle and so far anything I have shot with it dropped like a stone. However, it's not much use in low light, and while I can be acceptable accurate with it,
My questions to anyone willing to share their experiences are:
1. How much of a hassle do you find it getting ammo?
2. How confident do you feel in its/your accuracy with it at medium/longer ranges?
(3. If you know anyone who might want to sell some reloading dies for it....)
I suppose advice from anyone using express sights for stalking would also be most helpful.
