Swedish Mauser sniper

[lapua338]

Scotsgun,

Me too! The ZfK55 is awesome but almost impossible to find in this country. All the good ones seem to be in the USA or in Switzerland. I did see a gentleman shooting one on Short Siberia in 2008 and haven't seen it since. It looked mint and unissued.

There was a ZfKar K31/43 (with a 2.8x Kern scope permanently mounted on the left side of the receiver) for sale in 2010 at the Trafalgar Meeting, which is probably the same rifle I saw at the Phoenix Meeting earlier in the year! It was the best part of £3K and it had been knocked around.

Thanks for the link. My initial reaction was crikey he is expensive but some rifles are reasonably priced, apart from the exotics which seem to be very high. I have mailed him for more information as he does not include a price. Interesting that it is a Basingstoke area number and a German email addy.

Nice stuff, but the mount on the swede is deffo a repro looking at the machining on it and the numbers look very fresh, maybe wrong ?

I was horrified to see the Finn M39 with PU,whoever did that has ruined it , I am tempted to buy it and rescue it!

The m39 snipers was with captured russian Pe scopes and was named M39 "SOV"
