    Name: rifle.JPG Views: 213 Size: 343.8 KB Just for akaroa1. Almost original 1943 Husqvarna carbine, front sight changed and no bayonet attachment. Extremely accurate and has won me the open sight trophy for several years in a row at my local DSA comp. Have a m96 1943 as well which my grandfather restocked otherwise original.

    I regret parting with a mint condition 1943 M38 I had some years ago. Cost me 300 and one of the first rifles I owned. Shot like a dream.
    I still have dies and brass in the hope that another one will come my way, but at current prices I don’t expect so.

    I've been running a Tikka 6.5x55 with a mild 120 eldm load for the grandson...shooting about 3/4 groups on a good night.
    Past few days I've started putting together a hunting load...147eldm with 2209 and the results are stunning. Quick 5 shot ladder test 42.5 to 44.5 gr to find pressure went sub 1/2 moa and then a guess at velocity and four shots went 1/2 moa at 500 yards...looking forward to seeing what this thing can do.

    I bumped into Schou recently on line because he worked with / for Larsen in Norway

    Fell down a rabbit hole that lead directly to Norway when I was looking into a Larsen's patent falling block rifle I'm looking at buying
    By some accounts this bolt action single shot exposed hammer rifle is completely useless but nicely made and certainly one of the weirdest 6.5x55s you will ever come across

    I have several Swedes: 1900 Oberndauf, 1916 CG with Elm stock (shooting prize/Sweden 1947), 1941 Husky m38B, CG target rifle with heavy barrel and Soderin aperture sights. Lastly is my Tikka with vortex glass; deadly accurate with 2209 powder pushing both 139 Scenar pills and the 143 eldx.Name: IMG_0009.jpeg Views: 194 Size: 4.31 MB
