Probably 100 years apart
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 NorwayQuote:

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.Attachment 259428
The m96 sporter in my pic is a 1896 obendorf
