Yes those Swedish Mausers are fine. I once had my neighbor who was a dealer, order six of them. I was surprised that one, I think it was stamped 1897, was made in Oberndorf and had the Mauser banner. Until then I didn’t know any were made outside Sweden.

For some reason the Swedish Mausers shoot more accurately than any other of the old rifles.

The most beautifully made rifle I have ever owned was a 1909 Argentine Mauser made by DWM. I bought it unfired with the original test target. Walter Craig in Selma, Al. got in a bunch of them. When it arrived both the dealer and I were amazed by the quality.

Same with the Swede, which was supposed to be a cheap truck gun. When it showed up the dealer almost wouldn't turn loose of it.

Bank vault craftsmanship! And the 6.5 140gr pill is a very good design as far as BC/sectional density.
