Mkmel you are right. M98 has a very nice shoulder internally. M94 and M96 Swedish action has none.

CG 63 barrel question
- Thread starter Philthy1
- Start date
I have had a couple of each, the only ones I choose to keep are my CG-80 and CG-63, I sold my 2 M98 Danish M69's as they never performed as consistently for me as my Swedish Mauser based 6.5x55mm Target rifles.
Also as your claim that M98 Mausers are better target shooters than M96 Mausers, I have a few M96 Mausers that out shoot any M98 Mauser I have ever owned and shot. And my own experiences is also confirmed when you look at vintage Military rifle shooting competitions at Camp Perry where Swedish M96 Mausers consistently win more than M98 Mausers.

Well those are "as issued" rifles not target rifles. Read the link I provided on the history of the CG63 and what the guys that used them for competition actually thought of them....

that centre picture is a very good picture of bolt set back . hope you don’t own it.M98 Mauser actions have a internal shoulder for the barrel to butt up flush against.
