Schultz & Larsen M84

About the Schultz & Larsen M84

The Schultz & Larsen M84 is a Danish bolt-action hunting rifle built at the company's Otterup factory as part of its classic hand-made sporting line, following the earlier M60, M65 and M68 and preceding the final M100. Like its predecessors it is built on Schultz & Larsen's distinctive multi-lug rear-locking bolt action, in which the locking lugs sit at the rear of the bolt, a layout carried over from the firm's match-rifle heritage and prized for accuracy, and it is paired with the company's renowned cut-rifled barrel. Offered in full-power hunting chamberings such as the .30-06 Springfield, 6.5x55mm Swedish and .308 Winchester, it was highly praised by hunters and, being largely hand-built, was made in small batches that sold out soon after production.

Schultz & Larsen was founded in 1919 by the marksman Hans Schultz and his son-in-law Niels Larsen, and the firm's match-rifle pedigree fed into its cut-rifled barrels, which were so accurate that British concessionaire George Swenson used them to launch the SWING target rifle around 1970.

Schultz & Larsen M84 specifications

The M84 sits between the M68 and the final M100 in Schultz & Larsen's classic model progression (M5x, M60, M65, M68, M84, M100). Detailed factory specifications are sparsely documented; weight, barrel length, magazine capacity and the full chambering list are unconfirmed here and left null. Chamberings varied to order on the same rear-locking action; the .30-06 Springfield is recorded as the primary chambering in line with the company's earlier sporting rifles.
