Swedish M96 Mauser ready for deer season

Sheepdog, looks like the ones you have been multiplying all on their own. Your handle is familiar, gunboards perhaps?. Still have a couple ammo cans of the old Norma 6.5x55 139 grain bullet that was imported by Federal under the American Eagle white box from a bunch of years ago. Great ammo. Frank

Nice rifles. I have had a couple of them, one really very nice one marked with 1s, etc. My interest in milsurp guns waned so I let all of the ones that I had (but for one special one) go to other folks but I can attest that the sweetest ones were the Swedes.

Same sheepdawg, also have a love of S&W especially pinned and recessed K frames. Oh and that 915 also.

Nice rifle. I like the 6.5 x 55 and can shoot all day with it.
I have a 1908 Carl Gustav parts rifle that I've trimmed up for deer hunting. Got rid of the top hand guard and rear military sights and mounted a Lyman 57 receiver sight. Then trimmed back the front of the barrel and had a used Remington ramp front installed, with an ivory bead. Also had the bolt bent.
It's a very quick handling, accurate, fast on target set up that has brought in more than a few whitetails. Not much to look at but perfect for those days when the weather is in the sloppy wet, scope fogging category.
You might want to see how it shoots without the hand guard and barrel band.
