I glommed a CG 63 a few weeks back at an online auction. The picture (one!) was kinda crappy and the description was worse. But I bid accordingly and I think it worked out.

You are on a roll son.

There is just something about Swedish Mausers...

I got out to the 200 yard range and fired my CG63. Shot pretty well with my reloads.

@200 yards, grouping just under 2", or a little better than 1MOA

NIce.

Cool, I used to do that with Finn M39's and such. That was a long time back, such performance does not happen today, must be the rifle and ammo's fault.

Thanks, guys!

Funny you should mention that . I've got a Finnish M28/76 that I've never fired. It would be interesting to have a shoot off between it and my Swedish Target rifles.

I would think the performance level would be about the same with either rifle. Both rifles are built to do one thing, maximum accuracy on the target range, tools for the highest trained sharpshooters. Either rifle is pretty useless without the training to know how to use them properly.

Father Time is to blame. I can see iron sights fine without my glasses, but the the target is fuzzy. Can't see the sights good with the glasses on. The M- 39's aren't going bad, we are. There is a herbal supplement in Europe that hunters take in the fall to improve vision. I can't recall the name of it but the article I read was by someone here in the US that said it worked great. If anybody knows what it is I'd like to order some to try at the range.

I tried Jagermeister already. It turned me into the Wolfman, roaming the country side at night, terrorizing the people.
