Schultz & Larsen Legacy

The History of Schultz & Larsen

Schultz & Larsen is a Danish company that was founded in the mid-20th century by two brothers, Viggo, and Børge Schultz, and their friend, Jørgen Larsen. The company began as a small workshop producing hunting rifles and quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality firearms. In the 1950s, Schultz & Larsen began to expand its product line to include target rifles and other competitive shooting firearms.

Throughout the following decades, Schultz & Larsen continued to innovate and improve its products, and by the 1970s, the company had become one of the leading manufacturers of competitive shooting rifles in Europe. The company's rifles were used by many Olympic and international-level shooters and several world records have been set with rifles from Schultz & Larsen.

In recent years, Schultz & Larsen has shifted its focus towards producing high-end hunting rifles, while still maintaining its reputation for quality and precision. The company continues to operate in Denmark, where all of its rifles are still handmade by skilled craftsmen.

Schultz & Larsen Legacy Rifle Review

The Schultz & Larsen Legacy bolt-action rifle is the latest release from the Danish firearms manufacturer. Just like the other new generation of Schultz & Larsen’s rifles, this one has a switch barrel system as well, which allows the shooter to swap out the barrel quickly and easily for another caliber within the available group. This feature provides shooters with the flexibility to use different calibers for different hunting or shooting scenarios, all with the same rifle.

The quality steel push-feed action system of the Legacy provides smooth and reliable feeding of cartridges into the chamber. The bolt of the rifle is safely designed with three locking lugs, ensuring a secure and consistent lockup during firing. The three-position safety of the Legacy allows for safe operation of the rifle, with the center position allowing for easy unloading of the rifle with the safety on. The unique mounting surface is designed for the Schultz & Larsen Slide & Lock scope mounts, but the possibility of mounting a Picatinny rail provide a variety of other options. There are two holes in the front and the back of the receiver that are 73.5 mm apart. The distance between them measures 12.5 mm on both sides.

The rifle features a detachable magazine with a 3 + 1 capacity, two pre-fitted sling swivel studs, and a barrel length of 535 mm (21.1 inches). Despite all its features, the Legacy is a lightweight rifle, weighing in at only 2.8 kg (6.2 lbs).
