Updated...Uh-oh..........Husqvarna..........?

'Looky' forward to seeing more photos of your KAL. 7x57 - and to hear how she shoots! My pre-season load development for my .270 resulted in an average of 1.35", for 8, 5 shot groups, consisting of 6 different loads. This is sighting with a post and crosshair weaver K3! And I can't help sharing this most recent photo, taken in sheep country last week .....

Sorry for the double post.
Haven't figure out how to multi quote yet.
I took the Euro gal into me office and had a wee bit of a gossip with her.
She agreed to undressing and I promised her I wouldn't be ruff.
Got her all nicely cleaned up and gave her skin a nice oil massage........gawd I luv that werd.
Skrubbed the bore until the rifling showed corners.
Talk about a long lazy twist.
Not sure what dubbyia D forty looks like after a bunch of years, but man oh man, sticky snot chit
all through the action. That stuff that looked like rust was actually some sort of pitch or dried snoot.
Managed to get the five plus pounds trigger arf down to under three pounds.
She ain't back together yet, but I do promise pictures later.

Iledwod, that is a purrrrrrrrty gal you got there.

I can't believe how skinnie this gal is.
Need to find a scale, but she is comparable to the Brno 21H I have here.
Maybe a tad lighter.

Thanks for your input and interest.

Updated photos later.......................:cheers:
 
"IF" it's a 4100 (straight comb, not Monte-Carlo, which would be a 4000), then, the rifle, less scope and depending on wood density, will be around 6 lbs 6 oz, while a 4000 would be about 2 oz heavier.

The barreled action (which is the same for both 4000/4100) will weight 4 lbs 10 oz.
 
In the mid 1960s I was involved in retailing sporting rifles. We sold quite a few Husqvarna rifles.
We carried one that had a schnauble stock, was light weight and their economy model. It retailed for about 135-140, while the others sold for about 145, maybe 150. The barrel was a bit shorter, and digging back through a great many yeas of memory, I thought the barrel was 22 inches and change.
This rifle had a feature I plainly remember. Rolled into the barrel was the word, "HUSKY." We were told that no other model of Husqvarna should be called a Husky. Another feature of it was the front sight was set back a bit farther on the barrel than was usual.
This rifle quickly gained a reputation of having good accuracy.
Baribal, can you fill in my lost memories on this one?

Yours is a 4000 (monte carlo stock), and a nice one at that!

:)Thanks Pat. In my little file folder of firearms photos, that was what I had it marked down as but I had a little mix-up or two in the folder so thought I should find out for sure.
The rifle was Dads pride & joy and visiting with my Daughter & Son In Law for my first Mule Deer hunt on draw there with them, that's what I used. Thanks again:).

 
I have a tradewinds 4100 lightweight, in .308, that belonged to my father. Its a fantastic rifle, and one of the handiest I own. You'll like your new girl, Kamlooky.

It's the model "H-5000" or "HUSKY" the "lower grade" export model. Barrel is 560mm (22.05") and the inventory lasted until at least 1969... I run out of time but i'll try to send you something later if you want too.

Thanks Baribal.
Glad to see my memory hasn't gone too far astray!

To be fair, that looks like it's "near" sheep country. Right near. Pretty darn nice place to be.
