Husqvarna Sporting Rifles #### - ALL MODELS!!!

Google suggests it could be from a punch checking hardness during qc.

I also think it's a punch mark. Why? I have no clue.

Doubt it, not on a visible surface.

Still has a rear site, here’s a slightly less cropped photo.View attachment 1208471

If you run a finger over it, is it like a deep divot or dimple, or is it fairly shallow? Does it catch your fingernail when you scrape across it?

If it doesn't, it's definitely not a punch or proof mark.

All these Husqvarnas remind me I have an old model 8000 in .243 I gotta dig out of storage. Might be worth a clean up to sell it on the forum!

Hi there do you still have the Husky in a 243,feel free to contact me ,thanks

I've seen marks like the one in your pic. IMHO, it's from being dropped on a sharp pointed object.

What it was dropped on is lost in the past, but ####e happens, and your pic is proof.

Why is it not pointed out in the sellers advertising/products description for e.g. 9.3x57.

"No factory ammo in Canada available" at this time.

"Wallhanger only" unless you want to spend more than rifle value on reloading equipment

Bolt is not original, sights are crooked and receiver is tapped out of centre (but that only comes because the stock is shot out).

It's unbelievable what people buy into these days.

But DoGY owns a few - that's the ultimate approval!

Maybe you guys should give your head a good shake

You're the one that needs to give his head a shake.

I happen to know several Europeans who still use different vintage Mauser variants to hunt with, and none of them feel undergunned or outclassed.

You go on about having to reload, big deal, for some of us, it's all part of the allure of these fine rifles.

You seem to think only you can decide what is a good quality firearm.

Well, you can, for YOU, but the rest of us will just carry on carrying on and use these fine old rifles as they were intended.

it's sold, sorry

 

[Great North Guns]

I've seen some crazy stuff, but there is a HVA 1900 in 300 Win, bare bones just listed on the EE, for $1650 lol.
The sales pitch is pretty used car salesman type, but if that sells for that price, I may grab dozens of them off Intersurplus and double my money lol.

It will take you decades of shopping to find dozens of them in 300 win mag at intersurplus

 

[Folklorestatus]

From 24” down to 19”, bedded. Wish I could have chopped it just past barrel band but what can ya do?

 

[Why not?]

That will be a very handy big game hammer!

What power is the scope? Looks like it might be a 2 1/2 or a three.

2.5x old bushnell. Eventually I’ll replace it, works well enough for now.

Is it the one with the oblong view area (as opposed to circular)? I like the idea, I have a 4x with that feature. Quite happy with it. Currently I have it on my Svage MkII 22 lr plinker.

 

[Folklorestatus]

Nah just your standard circle, nothin fancy.

Question for you Husqvarna guys. I have a chance at a Husqvarna 1640 lightweight in 30-06 20.5 inch barrel i think. Originally iron sights with front hood still intact. Stock is a very light colored wood with no cracks and great bluing. Im guessing beech wood? I rate the condition 8 out of 10. What would a ballpark value be on something like that?

 

[Why not?]

I have owned several of these over the past 40 years or so. Every one was light, easy to point and swing, and very accurate.

The only problem with them is that short barrel limits the velocity available and increases the muzzle blast significantly.

Thanks Ted. I've had a few 30-06 carbine over the years as well. Would you know a rough value of the 1640 lightweight model? From my research there definitely seems to be alot less lightweight models compared to the standard 24 inch barrel models.

1937 Husqvarna 96 Mauser 9.3x57 stalking rifle accompanied me on a grouse hunt on the high ridges the other day, slung over my back whilst packing the shotgun. (Just in case - have bear tag.) Did some work this past summer on this one, reshaping of wood and steel, recoil pad, Skinner peep site, refinish. Such a slender, good-shooting little rifle. Looks even down to the details of action, trigger guard and floorplate like an early Rigby 275 (as they do), but even more svelte.

 

[gordonlbyrne]

Nice old rifle ,you inspired me to take a few pics of my old 9.3x57 Husqvarna.Anyone tell me the year and model of this rifle.

I have one and a friend has one in 308, mine is w/o forehand checkering but hers have the forehand checkering. We both paid around $800, for pretty much mint rifles.
