I have a couple of very nice M96 6.5x55's-but understand they came in other calibers[according to the Tradex web page]What calibers did they come in-and are they as popular as the venerable 6.5x55?

8x57 for sure, but in sporter congiguration. bearhunyer

did they have a military 7X57?

There were about 3500 surplus M94's done up in 7x57 in the 1950's, and sold to El Salvador.

 

[ratherbefishin]

is there any special marking for these 7x57 swedes-and are they readily obtainable?

No special markings that I can recall, and no - very scarce.

Thanks Andy. I just happen to own a M94 Swede in 7x57
and could not find any info. on how it came about, now I know.
