Fe sighted FrankenSwede m/96

[Dutchman]

I call this my ObieWanFrankenSwede because its a 1900 Oberndorf barreled action I paid $18 from Century Arms and put the rest together late at night with the shades drawn down. It has a Carl Gustaf m/63 target rifle bolt with a shortened lock. The bipod is mounted to a quick disconnect sling stud silver soldered into the lower band keeper. It has a civilian version of the m/55 rear sight that's infinitely adjustable from 100m to 700m. The stock is a particularly premium piece of French walnut I bought directly from Sweden that was attached to a prize rifle.

The first target with Lee 170 gr .267" with 13.8 grs 2400. I was a little disappointed after the other rifle did so well but this *was* with iron sights.

The second target was a little better. I bumped up the sight setting
from 500 to 600 meters but that was too much. I was working on 3 shots into
one hole but the rifle said 'not today'.

Since this is a no-guilt non-matching range rifle I'm going to install a Dayton single stage trigger. Its a really nice upgrade and improves group sizes.

Dutchman,

All pictures up now, did you put it up on your site also? Great site by the way.

How about your low scout scope mounts for the m96, are you getting of a mind to make an extra? I know someone who is very interested.
