Very nice! Looks like an FSR rifle with the rear diopter sight removed.

Looks like a nice Tunheden rear sight insert.

The Swedish FSR or "Volunteer Shooters Movement" is a Swedish shooting organization. One of the rifle types used by the members was an M96 like yours with a diopter type rear sight. I have a couple of them...



You can see the diopter sights on my rifles. The two holes in the rear bridge of your M96 is for the mounting screws for the diopter sight.

It is true! I had not seen it.

These rifles arrived in Spain in the 80s, when they became fashionable.

What type of reload do you use?

I haven't developed any handloads for the Swedish bolt action rifles. I have handloaded for my Swedish Ljungmans and my bolt guns do alright with that load, but I think they could do better with a load made specifically for them.

What reloading supplies do you have access to in Spain?
