30-06 Mauser Actions

Another vote for the Husqvarna. My first hunting rifle was a 1950s .270 Husky then I went to a .308 and shed a couple pounds! Great rifles, both with superb accuracy. I recently picked up a 1950s era Husky 12 gauge double... again, beautifully made and finished firearm.

Intersurplus is great to deal with. Just read descriptions carefully and view the pictures on a full screen so you know what you're buying.

How do like shooting 3" - 2 3/4" triple B steel shells out of your beauty?

Or it cannot do it ? So it would be useless for waterfowl hunting?

It also redirects gases from the bolt shroud in the event of catastrophic failure

OP seems a bit confused or maybe it's just me

All 98 will handle 30-06 pressure

The commercial mausers made by hva with swept back bolt handles and no thumb guide are FN actions

I did some reading about the action, and used Claude to answer some other questions, none of my buddies have any kind of Mauser or Husqvarna, so I figured I'd ask here. What I read mentioned weaker actions on the small ring Husqvarna 16XX series rifles vs commercial 98, others mentioned the thinner Husqvarna barrels didn't hold up as well as the thicker FN or Mauser barrels. I didn't think it would be an issue but figured I'd check in on here.

Thanks for all the help everyone, I think I got what I need.
 
The Husqvarna 1600 series action is not a weak action. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

All the Husqvarna's with a 98 style action used FN actions and are very well made. Any of them in good condition would be a fine choice.

The only Mauser's in 30-06 I personally would avoid, are the Stiga's and such that use a M96 action. They're strong enough for sure but just aren't as good an action as the M98 or 1600 series.
