I have just altered better stock (buttplate PACHMAYR Decelerator, pistol grip cap steel) trigger (from SAKO L61R with side safety), trigger guard assembly (from old SAKO-Mauser)and foresight. Otherwise it is normal Husqvarna.
It weights now with scope (LEUPOLD VX-III 1,5-6 with old all-steel TIKKA rings) roughly 4,5 kg (9,9 lbs).

The 47gr. load mentioned above is for the 9.3x57, not the 9.3x62. I noted GSP7 necked up 8x57 brass, which is what many of us use for the M46's. 8x57 brass will NOT work for 9.3x62 - it's too short by 3/10". Almost all 146's I've noted at tradexxcanada are 9.3x62, with only a few as 9.3x57.
I use 45.0gr. H4895 (same load with 300gr.- 2,175fps) with the 285 Privi's in my M46 9.3x57 and get 2,200fps for the effort. In my rifle, it is not a maximum load as far as case web expansion dictates.

Yes , you are correct. This is my 9.3x57 load. Not 9.3x62, and I use Grafs 9.3x62 brass for that cartrige

I finally received my 146 M98 9.3x62 from the gunsmith after a rechamber from 9.3x57. I also had the original bolt handle changed to the shape of original sporter Mauser. The handle I had was a basic bent over bolt. Unlike my M46 that was the classic straight slant Mauser shape. I am now, after reading the info from 9.3, thinking of rebedding the stock with glass bedding. Another friend advised me of the potential for splitting.
Very nice rifles, great NA and African hunting photos. I hope to follow suite.

Beautiful work, Nyhuus.

The safety is very nicely done, too.

A similar bolt shroud with m70-style safety is available here, for $80.00 CDN at tradeexcanada web site out of Quebec.

I like both my 9.3's, however have a 'softer spot' for the 9.3x57.

Wow! Several lovely rifles on this thread. And this is also the thread that receives a fantastic first post from Ola Nyhuus, Ferlach graduate and one of Sweden's acknowledged great gunsmiths!

Thank you everyone who has posted here. Some magnificent posts on this thread! Good hunting, everyone!

Must say that my rifle in the original post is also modified by Nyhuus, which I didn't mentioned. And he is Norwegian and not Swedish

.

Hopefully he is soon finished with step 2 of the work planned, so that I can post updated pictures.

Hello Lars,

Sorry about the nationality mixup - I guess "Swedish" as that is where he is based. No offense meant or implied.

Beautiful rifle, and this, of course, deserves to be repeated!

No worries, I wrote Swedish in my first post as well (which Ola kindly remarked to me

).

Thanks!

These rifles of the swedes here looks very slick. The traditional huntingrifles of the swedes are often like railroadsleepers made for passiv hunting..these rifles posted here however is truly an outstanding exception..very english made for lightcarry and for activ hunting(stalking)..

Thanks for sharing..:LOL

I like the style of that rifle and its flawless execution.

I like the original Oberndorf scope mountig system and the nice little Nickel scopes as well.

But I really wonder how much forward the scope is mounted.The correct eye relief of those scopes is much shorter (at least 5 or 6 cm ).
I know this because I use them on two of my rifles.

To my view you must extremely crawl into the stock or need to have a neck like a giraffe, when the scope is mounted as to be seen above.

The 'heads-up' style that fits the original Swedish stocks does require a more rearward mounting of a scope without 4" or more eye relief.

The two custom stocks appear to be quite high combed, not conductive to a heads-up offhand shooting postion.

I'm sure Ola Nyhuus has his reasons for building the rifle the way he built it. The man has a Ferlach diploma and is a legend in gunmaking from all that I have heard. I'll guess that not all of us are built the same way and that that is why someone would have commissioned this particular rifle for their specific physical form.

Hope to see more pics of his work over here. And, I have an invitation to visit his shop which I hope to do in the not too distant future.

I could see this rifle was way above average of gunmaking, and now ofcouse I know why. Love to visit his shop one day.
