Sniper

My m41/B sniper rifle. 1918 Carl Gustafs m/96 with a 1942 A. Jackenroll 4X scope. The Swedes made 4,000 of these. 800 yards is doable.

Interesting thank yah Sheepdawg.

Very nice piece of precision hardware, looks to be in great condition. I've read/heard for years the 6.5 Swede is the most accurate of all the various Mauser rifles.

I've shot in some vintage sniper with it. My best memory was 3 out of 3 hits on an 8" steel plate at 600 yards back when I could see real good. What's amazing is you can remove the scope and put it back on a month later and it still holds zero. The bore disk reads the barrel is as new and it's the original barrel. It's my pride and joy.

As it well should be, that's a real piece of history that still functions.
