The Mannlicher M1886 is a bolt-action rifle designed by Austrian engineer Sigmund Mannlicher. Introduced in 1886, it features a unique straight-pull bolt mechanism, allowing for faster cycling of rounds compared to traditional bolt-action rifles. The rifle was chambered for the 8x50mmR Mannlicher cartridge, which provided effective range and stopping power. This rifle was primarily used by the Austro-Hungarian Army and saw service in various conflicts, including World War I. Its design influenced future rifle developments, and it is recognized for its reliability and accuracy. The Mannlicher M1886 remains a notable example of late 19th-century firearm engineering.
