M96 Swede

Post by willyj73 »

Another rifle I picked up over the summer and got some pictures of. It's non matching, but it shoots good and looks nice. I don't shoot much, and my eyesight isn't the greatest, but I was shooting good with this at 100 yards. The rifle shoots high and to the left, but it's consistent.

That's a beauty and looks to be in great shape for the age. My M96 is the best surplus shooter I own so most all the others just sit anymore.
Thanks for the pictures...

Excellent rifle, I can't see worth a shit either, not anymore anyway. Pretty much every rifle I own can shoot better than me, and the Swedish rifles are known as good shooters. Again with that DDR mag pouch, I remember buying them for a dollar each back around 1992. Rain camo pattern, I have a lot of gear still around with that pattern on it. I still have my Swedish Mauser also but all I have left to shoot in it is gallery practice ammo.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I basically shoot at the 50 yard range now with iron sights. If I shoot at 100 yards I don't know if the lack of accuracy is my eyes, the handloads, or the gun. Nice Swede!

I just know the area the object is in, and aim there (at a range with a hillside in the back ).

Nice rebuild, the lettered crown says new barrel and obviously new stock done at Bodens arsenal. Should be a heck of a shooter.
Real gun control is the ability to hit the target.
