Husqvarna Sporting Rifles #### - ALL MODELS!!!

Hey Baribal

No problem and not trying to argue. The OP said he has his original barrels carefully greased and stored away. That is why I assumed he would know if they were the Model 5000 type. Check on The Swedish Gunboards and you will see all my facts are correct concerning the 4100s and 4000s.

7mm Rem Mag Husky 5000

I know all rifles like different loads, but was wondering if I could get some recomendations on a factory load with good groupings for my 7mm. This may not be the right forum, but with so husky owners I had to ask.
 
Usually, HVA rifles tend to shoot heavier bullets better. Tomorrow, I'll post the twist rate of your rifle.

The "Husky H-5000" was a "budget" rifle.
From the serial numbers you provided, the 30-06 was made around mid-64, the 308 Win late '58 and the 358 NM was made in 1962.

The "Husky H-5000" was introduced in 1963, so from the s/n the 308 was not one of those. It might have been a 4000 (or "Lightweight", 520mm or 20.5" barrel).

I do have all the factory docs that came with the 30/06; they include a light yellow folded sheet that has part numbers, and prices, indicating it is for an H-5000. No mention of "Husky". Those parts match the 30/06 so it seems certain it is an H-5000. The .308 looks absolutely identical to the 30/06 in every respect.

For whatever reason, I can't find the 358 NM's paperwork anymore. But it does have a few differences in barrel length and the stock.

You can't easily swap the original steel trigger guard with without altering or changing the stock. The original steel trigger guard have a slimmer shape than the alloy one. The 1640/1600 series used the same action screw pattern as the M/98 Mauser.

Yeah, haven't been too worried about that - if I put a Mannlicher style full length stock on an action, using a steel floorplate/magazine won't change the work to be done any.
 
Rick,

Here's the spec of the H-5000;

This means that, theorically, you can shoot heavier bullets because the twist rate of the 7mm RM is 1:9". To say which make in particular will shoot better in your own gun is impossible, as each gun have it's own "personality" and may not respond the same as the next one made the same day.
I'd personally would choose a 160 grainer, like the Core-Lokt or the AccuBond loaded ammo, as you may find they shoot pretty well. Sorry, but it's not as easy as it looks like.. and I don't want to mislead you as your gun may not shoot one brand so well...

Thanks, I appreciate the time and info. The best groups I could get out of a 175 gr Federal soft point was 4-6 inches and with 160gr nosler partitions I was right off the paper in all directions. I may have an internal scope or mounting issue but I will try your recomendations.

Let us know how it goes, we may be of some more help for you. Try long, BT bullets and make sure everything such as bases rings and scope are tight.
 
7mm Rem Mag H-5000

Changed the Scope from a cheap bushnell to a VX3 and got it to group 4 inches with cheap federal 175 grains. So I think from here I have to find a factory load my rifle likes.
 
Here is a work in progress.....

This is not the original stock, still needs to be fitted slightly, and I will bed it. The tang needs to be repaired, and I will try to find the proper sling swivels. This rifle came with a pretty rough stock and alloy bottom; I have switched to the steel bottom, which I prefer. This one is a .270, joining my 7x57, and .308 4100's and my 7mm H-5000.

Rick, I very much enjoyed reading your post! Thanks for sharing.

A Rare Bird

Here's one I was seeking for since a long while.

Thanks to the anonymous friend who provided this baby to me.

This is the all original Model 46 AN, made only 1942-43 in 228 units. While it retains the stock and caliber stamping (9.3mm) of the Model 46A (in 9.3X57), it was factory chambered to the 9.3X62 and carries the word "ANTIOXID" on the Nickel Steel barrel.
Serial range is N1001 to N1228.
Only a very few made it to Canada (less than 5) and it's the only one in original shape - and there might another which just got in too.
This one is serial N1088.

There is a similar one made on the M/98 action, called the M/246 made 1939-'41. This is another scarce rifle made in 227 units, S/N range from N501 to N727. I'll post pics of this one another day.
