I finally got around to trying out my M96/38.  Amazing!  I never would have guessed how smooth and accurate they are!  I also took a k98k with me.  The k98k was like a piece of junk compared to the Swede.  It cycled as smooth as a commercial grade rifle, and was consistently hitting right on.  Its also 105 years old!  I didnt shoot at paper, basically coke can sized debris at about 110 yds and I could make them jump almost everytime.  Hardly any recoil also.  Next range report will be one of my Swiss K31s, which I have yet to shoot.  So far, the Swede is the most refined bolt action ever.  Hard to believe its 105 years old, yet smoother than many modern commercial bolt rifles.

I actually prefer my Swedes to the Swiss, and get better groups with them also.
Welcome to the addiction!

I was there with a couple friends, one of which, is a big mauser fan.  He never tried a Swede before this and he also agreed that it was the smoothest bolt action mauser he's ever shot.  I was going to sell it because of the scarcity of surplus ammo, but now I plan to keep it.  The k98k felt like a crude club compared to it.

Plenty of new 6.5 is out there, plus lots of handloads. Good box ammo can be 1moa in these guns.

Nothing wrong with 7cent 8mm now either.
