    I was shooting with my M38

    Hello,
    yesterday i was at the range and shot my M38 with PRVI ammo in 139grs. . It was only at 50 metres but not so bad, as i think.

    Regards

    Gunner

    Good job, gunner.

    Guess that new ammo did the trick (and of course, a bit of riflemanship on your part )

    Great shooting Gunner!!

    Looks like you have a '43 Husqvarna, is that right? My '42 Husqvarna is pristine like yours. I treasure it too.

    Gunner,

    that's some good shooting. If you factor in the random error from using iron sights, your rifle is probably shooting 4 out of 5 shots into the same hole. PRVI must be good stuff!

    Thank you all ! I am very lucky with that rifle.
    To cafdfw : I done my best but the sh.. target was moving at every shot! :-)

    To Steve : A little marksmanship from me and a good part from ammo and the rest comes from that superb rifle.

    To metzgeri : Yes it is a `43 Husqvarna. Can i see pic`s from yours ?

    To jn: It seems that the PRVI is a real good choice for this rifle. And the cases are very good for reloading. The price is also O.K. i paid $14 for 20 rounds.
    Thank you all again.

    Best regards

    Gunner

    Here you go, Gunner, my 1942 Husqvarna m/38. (It's a crappy picture)

    But why just include one picture? Here are some of my favorites from my collection. First is an 1899 Oberndorf (made just west of you, huh?) that was converted into an m/41b sniper. Next my CG63 with GF diopter built on a 1903 reciever in 1972. Lastly, another 1899 Oberndorf with Elit diopter.

    Hi metzgeri, nice pic`s from beautyful rifles. Thank you. Is the scope a Ajack 4x38 ? Good collection including mag pouches, backpack and so on.

    Thank you Gunner. That scope is the original issue model for the m/41b. It is an AJACK 4x90 with post reticle. I really like shooting this rifle.

    It's taken me a couple of years to gather up all the gear. I use the backpack and ammo belt when I go to the range.

    Hi metzgeri, have a rifle with a " Soederlin-Diopter " and do you know if it fits to an M38 ? Normaly they have it on the M96.

    Regards
