Our Assessment: The Schultz & Larsen M68DL is a superb example of Danish riflemaking — precise engineering, excellent fit-and-finish, and refined handling. Chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum with a 24?, 1:10? twist barrel, this rifle was built for hunting and delivers the ballistic performance and downrange authority expected from the 7mm Rem Mag. The M68DL’s smooth action, 60 degree bolt throw, and hinged floorplate provide a solid, reliable platform for serious field use.
This example presents extremely well. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and rates 10/10, which bodes very well for accuracy. The metal retains about 98% of its original blued finish with only minor operational wear (bolt wear and slight muzzle thinning), and the one-piece gloss checkered walnut stock with rosewood caps is attractive and snug to the action — overall stock condition rates Fine. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts and is ready to accept optics.
Mechanically, the action and safety functioned correctly during our inspection and the trigger has a crisp, clean break. In summary, this is a beautifully made, accurate 7mm Rem Mag in an attractive condition grade; excellent bore and strong overall cosmetics make this a desirable hunting rifle or precision field piece.
