Swedish M96 Mauser overview and range day. 

I am recently acquiring a 1906 m96 swedish mauser I'm curious if you've used a veriety of 6.5 x 55 Swede cartridge and which ones would be more suitable for hunting. Beautiful rifle I'll be waiting on mine. Cheers

"Carl Gustaf" is actually the name of the armory with the full name "Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori". It is the "rifle factory of CG' city" The name refers to the city Eskilstuna and the 17'th century king, Karl X Gustaf (modern spelling), who promoted the city to become a centre for early industrial production. The name "Eskilstuna" is even a quality stamp in itself, often found on old tools and mechanical instruments. The Swedish mauser rifles were also produced by Husquarna, another armory that dates back to the 17'th century, and of course, Mauser who made the first production run of these rifles.

0:43 Carl-Gustaf was not an individual! 😀 Carl-Gustaf is the name of the weapons factory where these rifles was manufactured. (Carl-Gustaf stads gevärsfaktori, in the town of Eskilstuna) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustafs_stads_gev%C3%A4rsfaktori

In 1995 I competed with one of these built in1896. I used a Lyman #48 rear sight with a Lyman #17a front sight in NRA Highpower competition at 1000yds at a National Gard base. The rifle did very well with 140gr Sierra MKs , held 10 to 12 inches. It had been re-barreled in 1965 with an H&R barrel by the armory before it was imported to the U.S.

looks like fun! :D

What is the price of this weapon

Nice vid man! I am in the market for a SWE 6.5 year from now...

I bought one in 1980's for shooting Coyotes. Was excellent to 500 yds with a 4x scope. The rifle always shot far better than I did. Still have and am now thinking about a "range day."
