I'm currently waiting for my C & R license to come in the mail but thought I'd get the ball rolling and a ask for some feedback. I'm interested in buying a Swedish Mauser but am not sure what the best way to go about choosing the model. I only shoot paper at the range, I'm not interested in hunting, and I already have a SKS in case we have another riot here in LA. I'm interested in the Swedish Mauser mainly for its reputation for accuracy but don't want the long (IINM 49.6") M96. Even though I've heard that generally longer barrels are more accurate, I prefer the shorter M38 look . Am I being short-sighted? Does anyone have a preference for one or the other, and if so, why? Any advice would be appreciated, even though my C & R is probably still weeks away .
