Need info on Husqvarna 30 06 - Page 2

That's great - thanks so much for the info. I have been hunting with this rifle for 25 years and my Dad many years before that. We have taken many moose, deer and the odd elk with this rifle and it has proven to be deadly accurate. I never take it to the range unless it has been knocked or when I put a new scope on it.

I am another first timer on TFF, have inherited a Husqvarna 30-06, mauser bolt action, se#128660, with an ingraved crown and letter above the word Sweden, above the chamber. I was wondering what I could find out about this rifle from my grandfather. My father said that it was bought in the 50's. It is of great personal value to me and would like to be able to keep my own son's informed of the gun, year made, any model that could be identified. I will try to get good pictures to post.

It was made in 1951. Based on year and caliber it is either a 640, a 1000 or an 1100. The main differences in those three seem to be the stock.

Alpo, can you tell me what year/model 138xxx would be? Also, anyone know where I can get a rear sight (dovetail) for one? I'm also curious if there is an online manual somewhere.

It was made in 1952. As for models, the same answer. 640s were made from '44 to '53, while 1000s and 1100s were made from '50 to '53. Caliber might help to tell which of the three.

The 1100 was a deluxe version of the 1000, differing in quality of wood. The 1000/1100 can be distinguished from the 640 in that the 1000/1100 had a jeweled bolt.

Mine is a .30-06. I'll post pictures when I get it all cleaned up and put back together.

Here is my Husky. It has the same stock as the one above.
