Ok, I have a friend looking for a Husky but he is asking me so many questions and I just can't seem to answer them so................

He wants a rifle in 30-06 but not with the 96 or improved 98 actions. He wants something in one of Husqvarna's own actions and this is where I get lost.

Can someone please help me with this, what models should he be looking at. The 9000? The 5000? I am lost.

He says his father had one, and it was the best rifle he ever shot. Comments on it being smooth and accurate and also how he is getting sick of shooting his old Enfield.

Anyone?
 
The 9000 was manufactured from 1971 to 1972 and is similar to the 3100 which has the improved HVA Mauser action. Can't tell you anthing on the 5000 as it is not listed in the book.
Model 1951 and Hi Power model Mfg. 1946-1951.
Series 1000, 1100 Mfg. 1952-1956.
Series 3000, 3100, 4100, Mfg. 1954-1972.
Model 456 Mfg. 1959 to 1970.
Series 6000 Mfg. 1968 to 1970.
Series P-3000 Mfg. 1968 to 1970.
Model 8000 Mfg 1971 to 1972.
Check with your friend what year he used the gun?
 
And to confuse the matter further they used large ring 98's manufactured by FN that said they were made by FN and also used the same action marked with the Husqvarna crest and I really don't know if Husqvarna made those or if FN specially marked them for Husqvarna. Perhaps a student of the breed can sort that out.
I believe the small ring actions they used at least for later production (post 96's) were all made by Husqvarna but that could be in error.
Then there are the push feed models. All that I have seen have a Carl Gustaf marking but there may be exceptions to that that I just haven't come across.

Not a simple question unless you can provide more specifics.
 
Thanks guys.

He says he is looking for the push feed which sounds like it may be difficult to find.

I appreciate the help, I am going to see if I can find out more.
 
An 8000 model I was at is a very slick push feed, very much resembling a Remington 700. Very nice rifle. If I recall correctly they wanted $600-650 for it.

I had a Husqvarna 5000 in .308 Win. It was very much like a featherweight rifle. Stock had a schnabel type forend. Was one of the most accurate .308's I ever owned. Sorry I sold it... :(

Where does the "Crown Grade" come in? Or was that just a better-finished option on several series?

I have it now but I believe it was in the early 60's when Dad bought. It's a Husqvarna .30-06, featherweight or lightweight, has very nice finely figured (Tigertail looking) wood, aluminium floor plate & trigger guard and a three leaf rear express sight. I can't find a model number on it anywhere, so I was wondering, can that be determined from the serial number? I took the action out of the stock but still couldn't find a model number.
It shoots well and a few years ago I got my first Alberta Mulie with it and will probably take it back for another this year.
 
Crown Grade Series 3100-.243, .270, 30-06, 7x57mm or .308 has improved HVA Mauser action, 24 inch barrel, walnut stock, black forend tip and pistol grip cap. Mfg.1954-1972

Series 3000 Crown Grade similar to 3100, except it has monte carlo stock.

Model 9000 Crown Grade similar to model 3100 Crown Grade, except also available in 300 Win, Husqvarna action, 23 1/2 inch barrel, adj. trigger, adj. sight, walnut stock. Mfg. 1971-1972
 
I own a beautiful Husqvarna mod 4100 that Dad bought back in the early 50's.
He started me hunting when I was very young and passed the rifle down to me when I was able to carry it for a full day's hunting without tiring out and getting him to carry it. To this day, it's my pride and joy.

Of course, given your CGN moniker, you could be a tad prejudiced!

Chris you are a very lucky man! Nice to hear you treasure it too.:cool:
Be sure to post some of your stories and pics over at trade ex canada.
They'd love to hear from you.

Welcome to CGN!



I've had three of them and they were all really nice. both in function and when it came to filling a tag in style.
 
Thank you very much for the "welcome". I just signed on today and am still learning my way around the forum, but am really looking forwand to being a member. My 15 year old son loves the Husky too and got his first deer with it. He can't wait 'till I pass it down to him, but since he already has a good hunting rifle, I'll be able to get a few more years use out of it...
