Not a Lever gun
But I have wanted a Mannlicher stocked rifle for a long while. I also have wanted a double set trigger rifle (other than my BP Rifles). I love the 6.5x55 for whitetail hunting and target shooting. Traded a Ruger Mark II target for this sporterized M-94 Sweede. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r258...
