Re: DORLEAC Krag Sporter

I have seen some swedish made rifles for sale chambered for the 8x54 over the years, not many but here and there. maybe sporters made from original military rifles by smaller firms in sweden but it looks like the idea not realy catch like the the other 6,5 mauser base cartridge - the 7x54Lapua, it was only a niche.
all sources say the the 8x54 was developt before 1914. could be it was a trial to rechamber the norwegian krag rifles

only rifle I find for sale now https://www.naturabuy.fr/Carabine-Carl-Gustaf-1896-8x54-Krag-Categorie-D-item-11482034.html












this looks like an old miliary rifle sporterized

all I have seen were similar, simple, cheap working rifles for the few weeks elk hunting season in autumn.
here is another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAbTBosgTOE
