I've been kicking around the idea of getting another target rifle to go along with my swiss hole punchers. Anyone have any experience with the Swedish CG-63 rifles?
The particular rifle I've got a chance to buy is a Swedish M96 from 1916 taken back to the Carl Gustav factory in 1963 fitted with a heavy non stepped barrel, new beechwood stock, rear diopter type site, hooded front site complete with four separate inserts(one is a crosshair and the other three are different posts and notches).
I've got a opportunity to get this particular one from a friend of a family member for a steal of a price. It's in like new condition and has been well kept since it was purchased in 1975. I'm just not sure if I want to get back into 6.5 Swede or stay in my 7.5 Swiss groove.
Any thoughts or experience?
