husqvarna rifles
I have two Husqvarnas: a commercial model 96 action chambered in an 8X57 and a new to me Model 1640 chambered in 6X55 Mauser. As was previously stated, they are fine rifles. I bought the 8X57 on a whim from WSS sports in Edmonton 25 years ago. With handloads, it will shoot 1" groups consistently. It was and is not a pretty gun but it shoots well. My 6.5 Mauser I just purchased from Tradex. Cosmetically it leaves a lot to be desired but mechanically it seems fine. I haven't shot it yet as I'm still doing some cosmetic stuff to it. Tradeex guns are well used. I suspect they are coming from shooting/hunt clubs in Europe but mechanically they seem fine. I'm of the opinion that Husqvarna's are the best of the lot. From what I have been able to find out, Husqvarnas produced some fine rifles using the Mauser 98 action; some of which were built by FN and some by themselves. Model 1640's are a small ring 98 action and apparently are the best version built off the 98. Pretty much all I now. Google Husqvarna rifles. There is a great web sight that lists all the rifles produced by Husqvarna.
