The Swedish Mausers are some of the best kept of all Military rifle. However they are not as strong as some of the others. Generally speaking the 98 Mausers are the strongest of the military mausers and were chambered in quite a few calibers. Probably the 7x57 and 8x57 are the most common.

Pick up the book Cartridges of the World for more info. I have a book on Mausers but right now, I can't find it.[:@]The wife must have hid it.

I have about ten old Military rifles Three are the Swedish Mausers. I have a couple Argentine 7x57 Mausers, the rest are Enfields 1917's and Russian and British rifles. One Military rifle is made by Sako. I believe its chambered in 7.62X54R.
