sweed mauser with scout scope set up

[lonewolf5347]

I seem to find the load the sweed like from 50 yards out to 200 yards
IMR 4350 43.5 grains and the hornady 129 grain bullet

Try 40.3 grains of IMR 3031, with a 120 Sierra sp, mine shoots groups like that and under at 100yds!

Nice shootin. Quite normal for 6.5, i use reloader 19 and 4831, 139gr or heavier.
Always amazed at their accuracy off the rack. Reloaded ammo always out shots the store bought stuff. I have yet to try cast waiting for Mihec cruise missles to made.
Be safe

Good shooting with that sweed. What scope mount do you have on it?

I've owned 3 Sweeds and none of them came close to needing a .270" diameter booolit. Largest was .266". Don't like sizing down .004" or more.

Not to difficult to adapt a Burris base to the M96's rear sight base.

Not to difficult.....

What Larry said, true.. Mostly you can adapt these to rifles with no handguard to get in the way.
I bought these 3 off ebay when doing R&D. There are some very viable possibilities with these.

I went with the S@K

I've been out for awhile, about a year ago I built a 6.5, and it shoots great with 4064 and Horn. 129gr. Been wanting to try some cast boolits, but I haven't got a mold yet.

Larry I like the looks of your scout mount and would like to try setting one up for my 96 if it does not require a machine shop to complete. Any details you could offer would be appreciated. My old eyes really could use the benefit of optics but I really don't want to have the receiver drilled & tapped. Thanks

About 20 years ago I built my scout on a M96 that had a cracked stock and a muzzle wrecked by careless cleaning. I cut it to 22", removed the sight elevator and clamped the barreled action in a pair of V-blocks. I milled the ears off the rear sight with an end mill in my drill press, and drilled and tapped four 8/32 screws into the old rear sight base for a 4" bit of weaver rail to mount the Leupold scout scope. I epoxy bedded it into a $59.00 Ramline stock and went to the range. It shoots in the .3s to this day, which is as good as I can see through the scout scope. I think I have a little under $300 in the whole rig. It did give me a scare one year sighting in for deer season. Turned out the mount screws had loosened up. Guess I never locktighted them putting it together.
