Visually and functionally, the M1908 Carbine combines classic European styling with practical field features. The blued finish complements the checkered hardwood round-knob stock, while the blade front sight and adjustable leaf rear sight provide a clear and traditional sight picture. Built during a period when Steyr was producing some of the finest sporting and military rifles in the world, the Mannlicher Schoenauer series has long been prized for its accuracy, durability, and elegant construction. Today, examples in original configuration—especially in less common chamberings such as 8×56 MS—are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts who value both historical significance and the legendary smoothness of the Mannlicher Schoenauer action.
