M96 Swedish Mauser

[Dannyboy53]

Nice piece, with the convertion plate for the new spitzer bullets.
A keeper!

Thank you Ovidio, the rifle came to me minus the plate but with the four Brad holes in the stock.I bought another one and mounted it in place for cosmetic appeal! The rear sight has been altered by Swedish armorers to accommodate the change in ammo years back.

While I'm right handed, I've had it said to me by some lefties that the Swedish and other rifles without bent bolt handles have a slight advantage for reaching over the action to grab.

I'm inclined to agree Mac. It is much easier to reach over the Swedish Mauser action to grasp the straight bolt than to reach across my Savage 110 with the bent bolt!
