Husqvarna .308 - ID help much appreciated

[RangeRover]

I'm trying to identify the specific model of this Husqvarna rifle, so any knowledge most welcomed. This is the only photo I have, I'm afraid

S/N is 210###, which is 1956, I believe? S/N is stamped on the left side of the barrel, just ahead of the receiver. Husqvarna Vapinfabriks roll mark runs along the top of the barrel.

It's in amazing shape. Any other details that might help ID it?

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, it's a 1640 or something based on that action. It has the characteristic oldskool Mauser back end of the bolt, but a thumb safety. Looks like a 20" barrel.

Very nice gun.

I think it’s basically a 1640 featherweight 20” barrel.

Sold those in 1968 for $169 I think.. Uptown Sporting Goods in Calgary.

If it has a cheek piece and 22 inch I think it's a 1600. But it looks like a 24 to me. I had this exact rifle in 270 and it was a 24 inch.

Most likely a 4100.
