[QUOTE=Olle;285956]Ever tried the Swedish M/96? I have to admit I'm partial to these, but they are extremely smooth and very accurate. I have shot 3"-4" groups at 100 yards with one of mine, probably a lot of luck involved but still not a coincidence. A better shot could probably do some serious damage with it. Got a 2" 3-shot group once, almost made me want to frame the target and hang it on the wall.

That's probably one of the few guns I've only tried once but never owned. Instead I had a beautiful practically brand new Swiss Schmidt Rubin K31 in 7.5X55mm extremely accurate, but it was practically impossible to find the ammo, and even reloading it was expensive, so since I'm not a rifles lover I sond it many years ago.

Have a Happy Easter.
