That first rifle (With the wood stock) that he picked up is a 6.5x55
Swedish Mauser "Ljungman" (pronounced= Lunge-mun) Model 98

I have one. Very finely and well built rifle that is sighted for 700
meters . Quality all the way!

BTW, I totally agree with the stickers on the inside of his gun safe.


If I remember correctly it was a Mauser my dad's friend had when I was little.
It was supposed to be a sniper rifle with an 1100 yard killing range. As I was
told it had offsetting gas pistons inside to compensate for kick. It was larger
than the weapons this guy had and very light colored, not the usual darker
colors of steel and wood but that's all I remember about it.
