Though I've always liked the looks of them and still have one (a Ruger International), you'll never see a serious match rifle with a full-length stock and they are notorious for collecting water and debris, with the attendant rust problems posed by trapped water hidden from view. If you are caught in the rain while hunting with a Mannlicher stock, just be sure to separate the stock from the action/barrel to get rid of any moisture. And hope that in the process you haven't changed the poi from the poa.
