I’ve got 3. Two model 96’s and a model 94. They are very accurate with mild recoil. The brass disc on the stock gives you all the info on the barrel condition the last time it was inspected. Muzzle erosion and bore diameter etc. the Swedes replaced barrels when we would think they were just broken in. Most are capable of better accuracy than the average shooter.

It's a 130 year old design that still has a following, and is essentially ballistically matched by the 6.5 Creedmoor that everyone with a manbun loves so much.
I’ve been saying this since the creedmore came out, and it’s amazing how many people have been conned by nothing more than rebranding and marketing.
