Once you hold a Model 96 Swedish Mauser you'll see the difference and understand the reverence in which they're held. Their machine work and finish are the best of all the Mausers. The Swedes allowed Germany to make them under license but only with Swedish engineers supervising the manufacturing of the high grade steel. Someone that once worked at Lyman told me that their reloading book testing is done with M96 receivers on standardized test barrels. The cartridge is great for hand loading and the original rifles are capable of fine accuracy. Because of the very long original bullets the twist is something like 1 in 7.75" or 1 in 7.5". Original Swedish Mausers in decent condition should shoot 5/8" -3/4" at 100 yards.
