Husky
Husky rifles are very well made although usually not fancy. I have several of the 1950 rifles with the FN '98 action and really like them. Another of these actions is being made into a custom 6.5X55 by Corlanes and is way overdue to be finished. I previously owned a lightweight in 7X57 that featured the improved HVA action and while a great rifle I prefer the 98 style action.
Husky rifles can usually be picked up pretty cheap if you look around.

This is a pic of my wife's Husky '06. The stock was shortened to fit her, a Decelerator was installed, and the sights were changed to a ghost ring and post. The front ramp is a Ruger. The rifle is very light, about 5.5 lbs., and with 180 gr X's it jumps around some, but she doesn't seem to notice.
Husky's have always been my favorite. My friend who first took me afield packed around his 1100 in 06, I always loved that rifle.
I have had three, a 1950 high power in 30-06, a crown 3000 in 06:
And now an older 146 in 9.3x57:
They have all shot moa and they fit me very well. Price is much dependant on chambering, model, condition, the usual details. They can tend to kick like a mule, just so you are forwarned.
Other than that, there seems to be lots around still and they can be had for a decent price. If you are getting an older one, it may or not be built on a 96 Mauser action which isn't as strong as the 98's.
Enjoy!
