It looks like the 1600 action, assembled in 1953 as you said. Controlled round feed.
Is the barrel length 20.5", 22" or 23.5" from bolt face to end of barrel?
Have a look at the Tradeex site for comparable prices.

Most definitely not a 1600 series action - that is a commercial action (not former military - no thumb cut out) of the M98 Large Ring design - note the front ring is larger than the left side wall. I have one that is nearly identical, except chambered in 9.3x62, not 30-06. Mine is an FN (Fabrique Nationale) made action, from Belgium, which Husqvarna was using for various models for a number of years. It helps a bit as a "selling point" to remove the bolt and look into the rear of the breech area. There is a reinforcing ring on the inside of the 98 mauser action front ring that the barrel is tightened up against. On earlier versions, from the rear, it is shaped like a "C" - only one broach cut on the right side to allow the extractor to pass. On later ones, that broach cut was made on both the left and right sides, so looks like a sideways "H". Among some of us, the "C" broached 98 are considered about as good as it gets, while the "H" are considered somewhat "lessor", although both versions pass proof testing easily - the Husqvarna / Swedish proof marks plainly visible on your barrel to right side of the barrel serial number, up against the front receiver ring. As mentioned, TradeEx has had numerous similar for sale, to get a sense of current retail pricing - but pay attention to detail - no thumb cut out, based on a 98 size, not a small ring 96 style, the width of the fore-arm - some models were much slimmer and had a "schnable" tip to the forearm - yours does not.
From another recent thread, apparently Husqvarna installed the rifle's serial numbers on the barrel, until a USA law in 1968 required the serial number on the action for rifles imported to USA. If you dismantle the rifle, you will likely find what looks like a second serial number, with proof stamps, on the flat on the underside. From Baribal in another thread, that number on the flat on the underside of the receiver is NOT the serial number for the rifle - the one on the barrel is - and apparently no examples exist of the two numbers being the same, so the number on the flat is assumed to be like an assembly or inventory number as part of the manufacturing process.
When looking at "comparibles", understand that Sweden surplused train loads of M94 rifles in the 1950's - many of these were bought up by European gun firms and converted to "sporter rifles". I have one, by STIGA, which is chambered in 30-06. It would have been proofed for 30-06 in Denmark where the barrel was installed, and has those proof marks. "New", not converted milsurp stocks. On mine, the bolt was a standard "turned down" m94 configuration. I have read of other companies that did similar, but can not remember their names or brands - so these "sporters" were built on "Swedish" military receivers, but they are / were not Husqvarna sporting rifles, and, at least on my example, were built on mauser Small Ring actions, not the Large Ring that you show in your pictures.
