Otterup Model 69: From German Sword to Danish Plowshare
This video explores the Otterup Model 69, a precision rifle developed in Denmark by Schultz & Larsen. Leveraging surplus German K98k actions and receivers acquired after WWI, the company produced a series of improved hunting and sporting rifles. The Model 1969, the final iteration, features a heavy barrel (often chambered in 6.5x55mm), a distinctive pistol-grip stock, a high-quality Danish target trigger, and aperture sights. These rifles became a fixture for Danish competitive shooters for decades. The video highlights the rifle's lineage from German military tooling to a Danish sporting firearm.
