One of the M96 long rifles was a literally unfired “Swedish National Match” with a sturdy M. Soderin receiver-mounted peep with highly repeatable windage and elevation settings. Only the bolt and receiver parts had matching numbers but the rifle obviously had been expertly rebuilt with a new select barrel at the Carl Gustaf Factory, probably in the ‘50s or ‘60s. That gun and the CG63, also with a used but good barrel and Soderin rear sight, will shoot 3/4 MOA. The M96 “National Match” has a flat top post front sight and the CG63 has a hooded front with Anschutz post and globe inserts. Happiness is being confident that no matter how bad your shot is it will come on call!

The Swede military stocks are long and skinny but reasonably good cheek support can be had with a careful “spot weld.” Light recoil and a long sight radius helps also. Care must be taken not to use too much sling tension. The long slender rifle can be bent 3 or 4 minutes left if you use more sling tension than is necessary for a good stable hold.
