re: Lakelander/Varberger/Konigsberg
"Made in Sweden" rotary mag Varberger 30-06. Its the later model with no iron sights and 3 bolt locking lugs (instead of six or nine.) It has a walnut stock with no grip cap or recoil pad and only basic checkering. I have seen this version called the Model 717. It is very well machined with an ultra-smooth low rise bolt, two-position safety that locks the bolt down, and a very crisp adjustable trigger.
I like the clean "Less is More" reductive Scandinavian design.
I also really like the fact that on this rifle (unlike earlier models) the scope mount holes in the front receiver ring and in the rear receiver bridge are identically spaced and level to one another. The Weaver Mauser front base #46 fits both but I put an older "lucky" 4X Swarovski (German 4-A reticle) on it with Talley rings (two #11A bases). This scope has seen a lot of game. I may actually take the Varberger hunting, and not just as a backup spare.

Those look like great rifles. Obviously high grade stock wood on the one.
It's odd the way people claim how rare these Lakelander/Varberger/Konigsberg rotary mag rifles are, because whenever I mention the one I have, there always seems to be another person who has one (or two or three) as well, and I also see at least five or six for sale right now in Canada. So, apparently not so rare, at least not in Canada. Apparently rarer in the USA.
In my experience Canadians (at least in the west) have always been very fond of Scandinavian rifles. They seem to strike just the right balance between form and function for Canadian purposes. It may also have something to do with ethnic demography. There are a lot of Scandinavian-Canadians across Western Canada.(To me, Western Canada starts around Thunder Bay.)
