Swedish CG-80?

[Mustang51]

Anyone able to identify this rifle? It kinda looks like a Swedish CG-80, with a scope and the barrel trimmed.

Identified as a "custom Swedish Mauser in 6.5 x 55"

I can't tell from the pic, but the barrel looks a little thicker than a standard CG80 barrel. Could be that it was shortened and just looks thicker.

I read somewhere that the scoped versions of CG80s were used by Swedish fire departments, so it could be a surplussed version of that variant. Pity it doesn't come with the target sights.

From another forum...apparently there was a plastic stock CG-80 and this appears to be one.
