Background
Schultz & Larsen was founded in 1919 in Otterup, Denmark, by gunsmith Hans Schultz and his son-in-law Niels Larsen, both accomplished Olympic shooters; Larsen won five Olympic medals between 1912 and 1924. The firm's cut-rifled target barrels earned a worldwide reputation among precision shooters.
