Schultz & Larsen M52 Target Rifle
The M52 was the first in a family of target rifles based on refurbished Mauser M98 military actions by the Danish company Schultz & Larsen in the years following World War II.〔p436 Rifles of the World by John Walter, KP books; 2nd edition, July 1998. ISBN 0-87349-202-1〕 They were produced to fill a need for target rifles by the Danish shooting association - De Danske Skytteforeninger.〔http://www.skytten.dk/Admin/Public/DWSDownload.aspx?File=%2fFiles%2fFiler%2fGod+viden%2fSKV%2fPDF%2fModelbetegnelser-Mauser.pdf〕 The M52 was superseded by later variants (M58, M58E and M69) the last of which remained in production until the 1970s. It had a similar development path to other Scandinavian target rifles derived from German M98 and other Mauser actions, such as the Kongsberg M59 and Carl Gustaf M63.
==The Search for a New Target Rifle==
At the end of World War II the Danish shooting association faced a shortage of target rifles. The pre-war standard rifle, a variant of the Krag-Jørgensen in 6.5×55mm,〔http://world.guns.ru/rifle/repeating-rifle/usa/krag-e.html〕 was complex to produce, obsolescent and it was not deemed practical to place it back in production. In any case, the .30-06 M1917 Enfield was the Danish Army’s interim standard rifle, which would be soon replaced by the US M1 Garand,〔http://www.odcmp.co/Services/Rifles/Danish.htm〕 also in .30-06, and the Krag-Jørgensen action was not strong enough for the powerful US round. In a development path also followed concurrently by other Scandinavian countries, notably Norway with the Kongsberg M59, the Danes turned to the substantial quantity of Mauser 98 rifles left behind by the recently surrendered German forces. These were ideal in many respects. The action was much stronger than that of the Krag-Jørgensen, was suitable for the 6.5×55mm still favoured by Danish marksmen, and could handle the slightly longer .30-06 cartridge with some minor modifications. It was a strong action eminently suited for use in a target rifle and a target rear sight could be mounted on the receiver bridge. Most importantly, it was available in the numbers required.
A variety of different Mauser M98 actions were represented. Although there was a large number of Kar98ks and some WW1 Gewehr 98s, many of the ex-German rifles were the Czechoslovakian vz. 24, known in German service as the G24(t). Of superb quality, the Czech-made actions were almost identical to German-manufactured Kar98k actions, with the exception of markings and the use of a straight bolt handle projecting at right angles from the action. The German Kar98k bolt handle was turned down to bring it closer to the stock and the firer's hand, with a corresponding recess in the stock.
