With respect, you don't know what your talking about. Husqvarna, Mauser Oberndorf and Gustav were the manufacturers of the fine and venerable Swedish Mauser M96 and later M38. Husqy commercial rifles were popular from the late 40's to late 60's early 70's. The earlier guns were left over parts from the M96's. When those stocks were depleted they made M96 and M98 actions in both large and small ring. Funny how you didn't bash Remington, after all they make all sorts of stuff, electric razors, epiladies, etc. For overall quality, fit, finish and workmanship, I'd take the 60 year old Husqy over most current guns.
