hello
since my uberti rolling block . 357 mag always seems to be in the repairshop , i decided to buy me a real rifle .
today i bought me a cg 63 swedisch mauser rifle in 6.5x55 mm.
i did some homework before purchase , and it seems to be that it orginally had been a m96 rifle , that was rebuild in the sixties to become the target rifle 63.
the one i bought is stamped "np 69", my thinking is that this rifle was rebuild by norma , but im not sure , maby anyone here has some info about that?
at least this rifle has the heavier bull barrel , with the 1 / 22 twist i believe.
the globe frontsight and the rear diopter sight seems to be original also.
i can pick it up when the paperwork is done , and then i will post some pictures.
for now i would like some info about these guns , they seem to be a little rare.
as i am planning to do my own reloading , and my own casting , i really want to know wich mould i should order , the 140 gr or the 150 gr .[ lyman] ?
ive been reading about "extreme long throats " on these rifles , but i don t really know what this means , maby someone with experience with this?
the shop where i bought this rifle didnt know anything about these rifles , they believed they were standard carl gustavs , and the prices they asked for them was kind of a joke i think as i payed less then 200 dollar for it.
any info on these rifles is much appreciated !
