[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2545075, member: 7157"] I've had a number of M96's, a M38, a M94, and a M41/b scoped sniper's rifle. Personally, I found the M38 to be the least to my liking, while the M41/b was easily my favorite, followed by M96's that had been through the FSR (Frivilliga skytterorelsen, Volunteer Shooter's Organization) program. These FSR M96's were rifles configured for target shooting, usually with rear diopter sights installed by an armorer and sometimes wooden pistol type inserts mounted on the underside of the stock. At the range, I find the Swedish Mausers to be a joy to shoot - very accurate with a relatively mild recoil (except in the M94 carbine!) I sold off all my examples that did not have a diopter rear sight though, as I find the diopters the easiest to use with my eyes. Pricewise, a nice M96 can go from $250 to $400, depending on the year (earliest and latest typically the most desirable), manufacturer (Carl Gustafs rifles being far more common than the Mauser Oberndorf rifles), the type of wood (walnut, beech, and elm being the most common), and whether or not the rifle is "numbers matching". As AK said, the M38 is typically around $300-400. A M96 with a FSR diopter set can go for $100 more, while M94's are $800-1200 for a complete, unconverted example and M41/b's generally go for $1500-2000. If you're interested, I had a FSR M96 for sale in the classifieds - PM for more info :) [/QUOTE]
