If I recall right, I think I paid like 420, which included a 30 discount for making an hour and a half drive which saved the shipping hassles.

Plus, got to meet a great semi local guy who is a big Swede Mauser fan, so a big win all around!

From what I have seen, it looks like if you budget between 500-600 you should be able to get a very nice 96 rifle.

Once you start wandering off into the carbines, snipers, and target versions.... bring more $$$!

You got a decent price. Congrats.

To me this would be the HOLY GRAIL of Carl Gustav 6.5x55 swede rifles

One rifle I would really like is a Mannlicher with a Bavarian stock in 6.5 mm Swede.

Great surplus rifle.

Ruger did a limited run of Mannlicher-stocked M77 Mk. IIs in 6.5x55 back in 2015ish. They were a Lipseys exclusive, and there were only a couple hundred made.

And CZ offered their Mannlicher-stocked 550 FS in 6.5x55 up until a few years ago, when it was discontinued.

Not Mannlicher actions, but similar aesthetics. And I know the 550 FS in 6.5 can still be found online.
