Great video — thanks for posting! I have two Swedes, both bought in 1998 when they were plentiful. I paid $149.95 for the M96, and $229.95 for the M38. They’re fun and I’m sure glad to have them.
I like that cartridge so much that I’ve had three other rifles so chambered. I have a custom built on a G33/40 action by Roger Biesen (Al’s son) that is a favorite hunting rifle. I’ve used it on Scottish stags and Mississippi Whitetails. Another was a Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherweight now in the hands of one of my sons. I used it on a few Scottish stags. The other was one of the Swede Mausers that Kimber of Oregon sporterized years ago. They used the original barrels on the 6.5x55’s. I picked it up at a gun show. I couldn’t get it to shoot. Found a new surplus barrel at Sarco for a modest amount and had it shortened to 24” and fitted at Ahlman’s when I lived in Minnesota. It became a real shooter. My other son has it now and it’s accounted for a few Whitetails.
