The model that Muir posted a photo of is the older Mauser style model.

They have become one of the leaders in the industry and still going strong. In 1872 they started manufacturing sewing machines. It started as a rifle factory in the town of Husqvarna, in Sweden. In fact I have been looking for a 270 and would ideally like it in a 1900 action, for all the aforementioned reasons. The beginnings of the company Husqvarna Viking, go all the way back to 1689. 243 is a Gustaf action and has fantastic French Walnut, 30-06 is HVA. Also, have a couple of Smith & Wesson rifles built by Husqvarna, one in 243 and one in 30-06. Ditto the Carl Gustav and Zoli made from the same 1900 action. The Gustaf action is one of the smoothest I have ever used - due to bolt lugs being dove tailed with receiver. I think because there wasn't an importer, And they don't seem to have a fan club because of that.

In my opinion they offer exceptional vfm particularly because they weren't so popular in the UK as the U.S. I do take the point that the resale might be difficult because people don't know what they are buying, but that's why they are cheap to start with, nothing to do with the quality. The bolt is very smooth in that design, and generally more - how can I say - svelte and nice to handle, and generally more attractive - than a parker hale.
