[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1094495, member: 39764"] Just bought a new in the box Husquavarna (not chain saw...lol) chambered 762x54 from the 60's, never fired, from an estate, still had the preservative in the bore. What a beautiful rifle and I hear they shoot very well, too bad the trigger takes Charles Atlas to pull it, but thats fixable. Just ordered a Huber ball bearing 2 stage trigger for it and a Vortex Diamondback 4-16 scope. Got in touch will Talley, getting a set of one piece Mauser (it's a Mauser 98 action) rings on the way as well... I guess Smith and Wesson imported them back then. I also understand the receiver is top notch and the cold forged barrel is, as well. The bolt is very close tolerance, much like a custom built receiver, no slop at all. I'll probably load 168 Bergers in Federal match brass (and load ladder it of course). Will be my Michigan deer getter and maybe an 'out west' rifle if I can bear the thought of marring the beautiful walnut stock that is.... ...and I thought Husky only built chainsaws [/QUOTE]
