Allowing for inflation that is pretty well in line with what they were selling for 40 years ago ; about twice the cost of a Weatherby Mark V or 4 times the cost of a Winchester Model 70.

I own Schultx & Larsen rifles in the following calibers; .22-250, .264 Win Mag, 7X61 S&H, 7mm Rem Mag, .308 Norma Mag, .338 Win Mag, & .358 Norma Mag. All are original & not f**ked with. All will shoot 3 shots into 1/2" or less at 100 yds with quality ammo. Most will do it with old Norma factory ammo! They are my go to hunting rifles. I also used to own a model 54J in .378 Weatherby (these are scarce - only about 330 ever sold) but I let it go in a moment of stupidity!
I used to have an extensive collection of the old Sako rifles, including the Safarie Grades & other rarer ones like a Sako factory chambered .458 Win Mag in an L61R. I love the old Sakos, but gradually sold them off to finance my Schult & Larsen collection.
Schultz & Larsen are the highest quality factory rifle I have ever seen. And Yes I have owned Steyrs, Sauers, & other high quality European guns. The new ones may be pricey, but many of you are spending that much & more on custom builds.

In the mid 1960s Schultz & Larsen in 308 Norma and 7&61 Sharp & Hart calibre sold for under $170. I was behind the counter in a small sporting goods store and we sold quite a few of them. A plain Model 70 Winchester was about 155-160.
A Husqvarna sold for 130-145 and a Winchester Model 94, right after the 1964 change, sold for $75.

daddylonglegs, one in 358NM, I'm envious. Any photos of your S&Ls??
I own 3 S&L's model 68DL---308 Norms,7x61 and 6mm Rem---built by S&L for me with 26" barrels and oil finished stocks--at the same time/same order I ordered the same in 358 for an Americain officer---should have kept it !!--I imagine that 358 is still slayig critters in Colorado. Bent Barrel

What do you think Looky, seems like we definately have enough members for a club.
Yup.
I am not stuck on one either.
I wish to own a 308 win or a 6.5x55 in the Model 68DL.
Maybe if I find a 358 Norm Mag I could hold you for ransom.......chickeye chickeye.
All you S&L owners and fans should send pics and a little written word to Jørgen Christensen who runs the Schultz & Larsen Club website. He is a very kind & knowledgeable guy and wishes to collect testimony on S&L rifles all over the world.
And, of course, he is from the mother land...

Ahhh, you know my weakness.
That brings back memories of my Grandmother cautioning me.
Here is the reply from Schultz&larssen after I e-maild asking if they have a distributor in Canada or have plans too.
Hi Niel,
we do not have a distributor in Canada, but have many inqueries from Canada.
Our problem is that shipping since 9/11, has become almost impossible in small quanteties, and we are a small compagny.
95 % of our rifles are sold in Scandinavia.
We hope to be represented in Canada within a few years.

For a new one or one of todays production efforts? Definately a little more than I'm willing to spend but there are quite a few first class quality examples of previous production runs that can be had for a 'reasonable' cash outlay.
That's more inline with my wants.For a new one or one of todays production efforts? Definately a little more than I'm willing to spend but there are quite a few first class quality examples of previous production runs that can be had for a 'reasonable' cash outlay.
I suspect you speak for the vast majority of S&L fans.

I've had three, 7x61S&H, 7mmRem. Mag. and 308NM, still have two, sold the 7mm Rem, and have never found even the slightest fault with either
. Even the used ones around in good shape command a pretty good price and with other shooting toys I still seem to accumulate and need, that'll have to do for my source of acquisition. That being said, if I should happen to have a favourable outcome in a 649 draw the whole picture changes and I have a quick 'three priority' list to deal with that state of affairs.- Handgun hunt for Moose in Alaska
