Wondering if anyone has experience with Talley one piece rings on a Husqvarna 1900, going to have an Elite 3200 3-9 x 40 mounted. I don't have the rifle yet it is in the mail, I was hoping to have the rings ordered soon. wondering if lows will work or do I need mediums. Thanks
Husqvarna 1900 ring height
- Thread starter Milt Dale
- Start date
Medium or low or high rings clearance differs from manufacturer to manufacturer.
You may get by with a "medium" height from A but medium from B will be too low.
I'd wait for the rifle to arrive and do some trail fit and measuring before buying something that doesn't fit right... And have a look at the bolt slop as well. You may have the right height under ideal conditions but will get marks or hang-ups when "racing" the bolt.

Thanks Phil. With the 1900, like many other brands and models out there, 
my experience is nil so I thought I'd best ask and see how they're evaluated by experienced site members. At present , I have a model 4000 light weight in 30-06 and a model 1651 in 358 Norma Mag.

the problem is not quality safety or else. the 1900 built by huqsvarna or antonio zoli are good rifles but for connaisseurs there is better choice.
they have been well used in europe for a reason they work. the reasons why those rifles are hitting our market is less hunters in sweden and more restriction on firearms and second someone is working his butt to bring different stuff affordable and better than an axis or an american ...

Baribal, I need your expertise. My question remains on how the model 1900 Husqvarna compares to other Husqvarna models available. ie, If there are 10 Husqvarna models, from 1-10, where is the 1900 positioned?? Help!!

Well, I honestly much prefer when the stuff is all together in the sticky so the info stays together.
The 1900 was a modern revamping of the 1640, to use modern steel stock bar instead of forged receivers, for one, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the proposal without sacrificing the quality. So, instead of forging alloyed steel of the 1640, wich process is even more expensive than working the old M94/96/38 low carbon steel, they decided to use normalized stock bar and machine it, then, heat treat it, like it's normally done for almost all receivers today.
The 1900 are definitely of the slickest action even made, there's no doubt. All through the production, the material quality and craftmanship is equal to what was produced at the original HVA plant. The finish was also quite the same from 1967 through 1979.
Then at the end, it's a matter of what you prefer.
The Zoli made 1900 are still quite popular in Sweden today, they even manufacture a "Husqvarna" version, with a schnabel and bavarian (piggy back) stock.
Sweden have changed the gun laws, but also the hunting rules. And since the average Swede can't own two rifles of the same caliber and is restricted to 6 guns in total, all the other stuff was sold back to gunshops. The younger Swedes who want to hunt or own guns want "modern" guns, they don't want their "grandpa's" antiquity. Also, in Europe, the way they hnt is different than ours, they don't go very far in the outbacks like we do, most of the time, they hunt clean places, so they can have more luxurious firearms. You don't find a lot of plastic stocks in there.
All that being said, the Zoli 1900 is not in the same class as our utility guns, so that's why, like many other European manufacturers, they don't sell that many in America. The Swedes, when they're not owning a 1900, Varberger or alike, tend to prefer German guns with nice woodstocks.
The young ones are not really interested by the old, cheap workhorse with a beech stock...

Thanks Baribal. Your knowledge and input is much appreciated.
Your knowledge and input is much appreciated.Thanks all, I found the Talley one piece height chart and did the math, I went with lows #930722 with a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40, you wouldn't be able to use the thick plastic lens covers but I use scope socks so enough clearance. If you wanted to use lens covers you would need medium.
