But I have wanted a Mannlicher stocked rifle for a long while. I also have wanted a double set trigger rifle (other than my BP Rifles). I love the 6.5x55 for whitetail hunting and target shooting. Traded a Ruger Mark II target for this sporterized M-94 Sweede.
I am happy with it, and hope to find out how well it shoots this weekend.
Double sets and Mannlicher stock, the caliber is just a bonus. Happy shooting
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

Not quite new to the family, I have 3 other Sweedes and a rifle/shotgun combo in 6.5 x 55 and 12 gauge, and a .264 Win Mag built on a commercial 98 mauser action.
What a beautiful rifle. I love the Swedish rifles, which are chambered in my favorite European military cartridge, and I really like the mannlicher stocks. If it were mine, I would be tempted to replace the bolt handle with a spoon-type bolt handle.
