Husky 9.3x62 custom

I had originally planned to build a custom 9.3x62 on a Brno 600 but after a tip from Fatboy I came across this rifle & for the price it was too good to pass up. After a 3 week wait I picked her up yesterday, a Husqvarna model 640 in 9.3x62.
Rifle has the original barrel in good condition with all metal work having been bead blasted & reblued, a new bastone walnut stock, rear sight with multiple leaves (100,200,500) has been added, timney low rise safety.

I'll shoot it for a while then send it to Darryl Stevens here in Qld to have a buffalo horn forend tip & grip cap added, trigger currently breaks at what feels like 6# so I'll probably add an aftermarket trigger assy too. I'll shoot it with open sights for a while a decide if I'll drill & tap it or just buy another 9.3 that I'll scope.

I'll take her out to the range tomorrow & see how good the barrel actually is.

Anyway some pics;
