Mauser 6,5x55 and 9,3x62
I use 6,5x55 for long range varmint and small to mid size game. For big game like Moose, Bear and Wild boar I use the 9,3x62 it pack´s a punch!!
My father and brother both competed on high level with both CG 63 and CG 80. Both of them made it trough to finals in The Swedish championships. I spent a good many weekends on shooting ranges in Sweden for training and competition with those rifles.
About 40 000 was made as a first delivery to the Swedish Army from Oberndorf before Carl Gustaf stads gevärsfaktori in Eskilstuna and Husqvarna Vapenfabrik went in to full production.
The caliber is still delivering impressive results!
It´s only to press out the black pin at top and it comes off. Installing is simple, takes about 5 min.
I have adjustable timney featherweight on both my mausers.
