Mannlicher Schoenauer sporter.308Win serial 9674

Question
Hi Charles,

I see you answered a previous question on Mannlicher Schoenauers, so I took the liberty of asking you the date of manufacture and approx value of my Mannlicher Schoenauer .308Win sporting rifle serial 9674 with scolloped cheekpiece and wundhamer grip.

Best regards, John from South Africa.

Answer
Hello John.
  Thank you for asking for my help. As I stated in my previous answer, I am limited on my knowledge of these fine rifles. I can tell you that the .308 caliber was introduced to the MS line in 1951. I will refer you to the Mannlicher Collectors Association at www.mannlicher.org. The value of these firearms is staying around $1,000 to $2,500 depending on the condition. Some engraved models are going for double that price.
  Again, thank you for asking for me. Charles Gage
