Sjögren rifle is a term used to describe a series of lever-action rifles designed by Mikael Sjögren, first produced in 1865. Developed from his earlier Modell 1858 repeating rifle, his rifles saw widespread use as both a civilian and military arm across Acrea through the end of the century. Some of the most popular models include the original Modell 1865, its improved variant the Modell 1869, and the heavy-framed Modell 1873 designed to fire the same powerful full-power cartridges as standard Acrean infantry rifles.
