Speaking from my faulty memory, I believe Westley Richards and Gibbs traded in both the 93 and 95 actioned sporting rifles. The writers and hunters of the day were not very careful in their description of their rifles or the ammo they used. They would often just say "the Mannlicher" or "256". This often makes it confusing if they mean this rifle or the 1903 MS in 6.5x54MS, which was also very popular.
