M41B Swedish sniper rifle "Arctic Predator"

[Mustang51]

Last year I decided to convert one of my Swedish M96 Mausers into a repro M41B Swedish sniper rifle for the CMP vintage sniper matches. That rifle was completed and is a very good shooter.

Ironically, shortly after my gunsmith started the project, I got a killer deal on the genuine article, an actual M41B Swedish Mauser sniper rifle, sometimes called the "Arctic Predator".

Here are some auction pics:







and here are a few after it arrived.

Wow, im jealous! I love Swedish mausers, and thats a beauty! Have you shot it yet?

 

[Legionnaire]

Beautiful rifle. I’m happy for you! I look forward to hearing how it shoots.

 

[Mustang51]

Thanks, guys!

Right now it shoots to the left, off the target...the windage adjustment is in the scope base. As soon as I figure it out, I'll post a range report

Whose scope did they use?

 

[Mustang51]

It is an AJACK scope made in Germany.

The OP and most responders to this thread have probably seen this, but for the occasional visitor here's a quick capsule history of this rifle:

Mustang 51: Very cool Mauser.
Some were probably smuggled from Sweden into Norway during WW2.

You might also enjoy what the Norw. underground used, as opposed to the mostly neutral Swedes.

My apology, I had the impression months ago that she and her father owned some WW2 rifles used by the underground-but they don't display any.
