Who knows anything about Schultz & Larsen (PICS)
I saw one of these rifles at a show today. It was a 22 with a very heavy barrel. I didn't notice if it had a set trigger or not. It is in great condition, and it's cheap enough. Does anyone have one of these, and how do you like it. I would also like to know when they were made. BB says the company was circa 1911, but this gun didn't look that old.
Thanks for any help.

Hello I remember a high power center fire rifle in 7X61 S&L this was a bolt action and a HOT cartridge but had rear locking lugs and did not set the world on fire with sales but very well made fit and finish. I did not know they made a rim fire but would expect it to be better then average quality. 0 -

Thanks for the info guys. The link has some really nice looking rifles. Too bad they don't have a US importer[V] The rifle I looked at was not fancy at all, it looked like a plain target rifle, nice bluing, but no fancy wood. I'll have to see if I can find these guys at the shot show next year. Thanks Jess

who knows? Roy Weaterby does. He offered his big african mags with the S&L action before he manufactured his own Mark V. I have two in 7x61 and can testify to their fine workmanship and accuracy and attention to detail. I dont know about the rimfire but I would guess it would be high quality. 0 -
Hello Mooseyard,
the rifel you have seen almost certainly must have been a model 77 from Schultz & Larsen Otterup.
It's a fine target rifle, but no one use them anymore - they are somehow "out-dated" - it's a rifle that on 15 meters will make "one hole groups" - if you do your part.
I had one as a plinker for many years - here in denmark you get around 50 bucks for a nice one - if your lucky!
A friend of mine eksport them for the US market, I'll try to find out to whom - if anybody is interested.
Regards

Tried to copy a direct link for you to www.lauritz.com - they have a nice S&L hunting rifle for sale - but it din't work out right.
Just look under "Vaaben og militaria" page 2.
The S&L .22 rifels are imported by "Century arms" in Florida.

Noone uses the anymore?
I know of several gunclubs (silhuette-targets) in northern jutland (nordjylland) that uses Schultz & Larsen on indoor 15m and outdoor 50m ranges.
They shoot every bit as good as even the new and more modern Ansh?tz rifles and the like.
Grew up in Denmark, lives in Greenland now - even here, the S&L's are popular and have some friends who loves them for plinking eventhough they're heavy.
Have shot mainly S&L rifles in the clubs I attended and that was as late as just last year.
Depending on how much it's been in use, it's a mighty fine piece of work. It might need a little brushing up on, but it can go - and go, and go.. and still go.
Some clubs use the S&L rifles for approx 50.000 shots and gets rid of them, rebarrels them or otherwise refurbishes them.
If it's been cared for, it can be finely tuned and suit almost your every need.
You can almost always find a S&L sparepart, as they're not widely used anymore, but several small clubs with limited budget can always buy those rifles from 30-50dollars from the bigger clubs.
People want new streamlined, better looking rifles - but it's not strange to see a S&L rifle in a contest even today.
S&L mainly makes high end handbuilt rifles now.
There are even clubs in africa, scandinavian huntingclubs in africa, where they only use S&L rifles. Ok, that is to glorify the rifle a little bit, but old style original Carl Gustaf rifles is subject to the same thing as well.

Hello HappyNanoq,
nothing wrong with the model 77 - they are high quality guns - you you just cannot compare what happens in Norther Jutland with the rest of Denmark.I know of several gunclubs up there that still uses black-powder[:D][:D]

Here are some pictures of the rifle. Some odd things about the rifle: 1)There is no feed ramp, the shell has to be put directly into the chamber. 2) There is no ejector (that I can see). The extractor does a fine job, but there isn't anything to kick the shell out. 3)There is no safety. 4)The trigger has A LOT of take-up, but the pull weight is pretty good. 5)It cocks on the closing of the bolt.
The gun is not marked, except for a serial # (10303) and the name in the photo. What do I have here? Is it a model 77?
Thanks
Jess
