Hunting rifles are basically the only rifles over here with the exception of collectors and sport shooter, and of course military/law enforcement. The 9.3×62 Mauser is also quite popular.

I figured as much. It's just that the general perception in the US is that Sweden is this giant commune with beautiful blond women and no one would ever, ever need or touch a gun. Besides, the only meat Swedes eat is salmon and the occasional Swedish meatball, right.

I've sold a few lately, the only redundant calibers I have are 12Ga and 20Ga.... Those are redundant because I have one 12Ga for hunting and the others along with my 16Ga are Winchester and Remington collectors I inherited from my father. |

Re: The Firing Pin (Gun thread)
Next weapons?
Mine will likely be 17 Win Super Mag. A 3,000 fps rim fire cartridge that is a varmit hunter's dream come true. The problem is it's so new only Savage makes a rifle. |
