"Capt." - Great acquisition!

The Swedish Mauser is a beautiful thing. It couples great performance and workmanship with light recoil.

It is a dream to reload and the 160 grain RN projectile has amazing penetration.

I have a 'minty' model 1938 short rifle and an 1894 carbine, that I rebuilt from 'Bubba'.

I wish I had a Norwegian Krag with a fine bore! I love the 6.5X55mm cartridge.
