Swedish CG-63 target rifle

Last year I glommed a CG 63 Swedish target rifle. It is based on the Swedish Mauser action, with a heavy profile 29" target barrel and target stock. They came with various makes of target sights. Mine happens to have the Soderin diopter sights.






Last weekend I finally got out and shot the rifle along with some other Swedish rifles.

@200 yards with my reloads. Grouping just under 2", or a little better than 1MOA
