Looks VERY similar to a M96 I had sporterized, to 21" - had an unusually nice piece of wood that I reshaped and finished. Handled and shot great. Another I had cut to 24 had more 'hang' but I MUCH preferred the handy 21, dropped a WT DRT with a neck shot and then Bushnell 6x40. I had a Timney in mine. Shot very well.

Can't beat having Lapua brass that is a good bit less expensive than man other rounds they mfg. and zero issues with COL....anything from 85-160 the OEM handles. You do have Norwegian heritage IIRC - or am I wrong? If so - that's a bit of icing for JB.
