Swedish Mauser

[badbrass]

Had some time at the range with the husky-38 today, always like shooting this rifle and trying out loads,
eye's are not young anymore ( age) but I'm happy with the shoot. 100 yds.

[themikea]

Nice work!

 

[bjmurata]

I'd be happy with that too,those Swedes are lots of fun to shoot!!I'm a recent convert to the 6.5X55 but it is for sure one of my favourites both to shoot and load for,love those Swedes.

 

[badbrass]

Thanks Guys! Going to try 1/2 grain more a see what she likes?

Nice group and nice rifle. Your eyes can't be that bad!

I love them swedes...owned 2, a m96 (sold to a friend that wouldn't leave me alone) and a m38 that was poorly restocked...also sold to a friend who 'needed' it. Always looking for another...

Swedes are my favourite Mausers! I have both a 1901 Carl Gustaf M96 and a Huskie 1942 M38. Both MOA or better at 100 yards. Power to weight ratio is spot on with these IMO. Everyone that shoots one, wants one!

 

[Old Outlaw]

Yep, and I just keep wanting more of them. I think I may be addicted to the Swedes. Wife is now asking me why I need more, that I don't shoot all the ones I already have.
I tell here it is because of all those thousands of rounds of ammo I have to get rid of. Well, so much for that. She told me "then shoot them all in the same ###x gun!"
I gotta think of some thing else soon.

I have two Huskie 1942 M38's both all matching. Lately my 6.5's see the most range time, along with a 7.5 Swiss. Both cartridges are new to me this last year. I reload them with mild to medium loads and both are turning out to be great shooters. I now am starting to understand the appeal that these great old rifles have

 

[Old Outlaw]

They are addictive once you shoot them. I know, I have 12 I shoot plus some safe Queens. Gonna sight two more in tomorrow. A 1922 M96 with a 100 to 600 Vasteras insert rear sight, and a torped 1900 M96/38.

Nice mauser and some good shooting! I had several Swedes at one time and they are fantastic rifles. Nice shooting and well made.

I think I might be one of the reason for "Old Outlaw's" addiction. At the rate you are getting them Steve, you will catch up pretty soon.

 

[AdrianM]

Now that's a pretty sight...

 

[badbrass]

I do need to find a taller sight, to shoot point of aim.

Buff, I do blame it all on you. I already have just over half of tose you show. But, tomorrow I will be getting in a BEAUTIFUL 1943 Husqvarna FSR with a Soderin on it. Oh, what she does not know and I will hide is a nice, really nice M38 Husqvarna with the 1974 property sticker on it as clean as can be. I just bought it a couple of hours ago.

Where do you get them?

 

[Old Outlaw]

Where do you get them?

Well, I'm down in the states and my friend Buffdog is up there. Pretty much we buy from Auction or a dealer or two that we know and look for us. Sometimes from another collector.

 

[kamlooky]

Only 22 ................ aye?

Nice.

How do you decide which Blonde gets to choot?

 

[Old Outlaw]

He once told me some thing about a rack wiggle/dance.

 

[samsplacci71]

I knew Steve had a thing for Swedes, Buffdog, you have quite the hoard going on. Very Impressive collection. I'm a late bloomer, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more Swedes in the very near future! Thanks for posting up that pic.
