Item#M70
Manufactured in Denmark by Schultz & Larsen, the model 70 was adopted by Scandinavian Rifle Associations in Norway and Sweden. The M70 is a precision made, heavy target barrel, single shot .22lr caliber rifle featuring outstanding match grade accuracy. Each is fitted with a walnut target competition stock and adjustable target rear sights.
Sights may vary only slightly from rifle to rifle. Some rifles may feature an engraved plate, competitive awards recognition, and/or other decals and stickers. These are extremely interesting rifles. A must for small bore shooters and collectors alike.
Each Rifle shows some minor wear from usage, overall they are in very-good++ condition as pictured. Overall 43.5" length, 25.75" barrel length, and 9lbs in weight. While supplies last.

They look really good and I'm sorely tempted. A couple guys at surplusrilfeforum.com have some glowing recommendations.

That's a very nice rifle and if I didn't already have a slew of .22 match rifles I'd be scrambling to add one of those.

The Danes are big on shooting as a national pastime as are most of the nordic area countries. That won't be a competitive rifle (mechanical trigger and long lock time, relatively, along with lacking the ergonomic adjustments of modern match rifles) but it'll be a solid reliable and accurate shooter that'll probably have a trigger like a lot of you have never experienced and the price is low for a good match rifle.

If something goes haywire with the rear sight though you'll likely be up a creek for parts or repairs.
