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!

That's a fine piece, but outdated, making it weak, short-range, and
inaccurate.
Relatively speaking, of course. *But this is the 21st Century.
Get yourself a Barrett M82A1.
You won't regret it.
Sweeeeeeet.
And use good ear plugs and muffs. *Both.

Too much fire power! That is unless I want to shoot though brick
buildings, besides I don't think they sling very well.

Nice rifle though.

The Ljungman is such a fine rifle with one of the most fantastically
ingenious loading systems I've seen. almost no kick. with the
exception of the obviously different ballistics I'd put it up against
an M-1 Garrand or M1-A1 varient any day. an AR15 is a great rifle but
for the longer accuracy the Ljungman takes it hands down.


The Egyptians tried to copy the Ljungman with the Hakim but chambered
in 30.06, and 8 mm. Mauser, but those are sort of a let down. They
tried to take the best of the Ljungman and the best of the M1-A1 and
put them together, and kinda missed the mark with both of them.

Some people like them, but I'm not a fan of the Hakim.
