The Germans designed the rifle, the Swedes said chambered in 6.5x55. You might want to check out 9 hole accuracy for shooting it out to 1000 m. Another channel to check out is C&RSENAL who did a few excellent vids on this. The carbine came out first, then the long infantry version came out a year later. A further follow on post WWII is the CG63 that uses the bolt and receiver from the M/96 along with new long range barrel stock and sights.
Thanks for promoting the Carl Gustav! The quality of these guns is famous. The Italian Carcanos did predate the Swede in 6.5mm by a couple of years btw, although their clever simplicity was negated by poor manfacturing. On an enduring note, there are many thousands of 'elderly fanboy' 6.5x55 shooters and handloaders who can achieve similar muzzle velocities to the well-engineered Creedmoor. Tikka and Sauer and Howa offer modern, affordable chambers in the Swede. Good luck, keep posting!

Great video, Austin. Gotta love those Swedes. Such an underloved caliber.

The sights on a Swedish Mauser M96 do in fact go up to 2000 meters. Flip the rear sight ladder up and look at the back.
just watched more of the video 6:20 answers the question.
Hello, i have one marked 1917 and would like to know if the tip of barrel is threaded on yours?
@@elcid6325 Yes that one was threaded! Some are and some aren't
