About the Schultz & Larsen M58

The Schultz & Larsen M58 is a Danish bolt-action target rifle built for service-style competition shooting. Made at the Otterup factory on a Mauser M98 action, it combined shortened, polished and refurbished Kar 98k stocks with new heavy target-weight barrels chambered in 6.5x55mm Swedish or .30-06 Springfield. Together with the earlier M52, it established Schultz & Larsen's reputation for precision match rifles in the post-war era.

After the German occupation of Denmark ended, Schultz & Larsen turned quantities of captured Kar 98k rifles left behind by the retreating Wehrmacht into refined civilian target rifles, rebarreling them with heavy match barrels in Scandinavian and American calibers.
