Re: My new Husqvarna 146

I agree - those Husky's, m94/6's and m98's are a great value. I paid $275.00 for my m94/6 - with a "slightly dark, shootable bore"(their words). After I cleaned it, it was like new with sharp rifling and no throat wear at all nor pitting. It was drilled and tapped for Weaver bases, which I wanted. No cracks.

Everything from resized 225gr.& 235gr..375's, inc. .365/6" bullets from 232gr. up to 293gr. TUGs and including resized 300gr. .375" RN's, shoot into an inch or less individual groups at 100 meters. All bullets, if shot one after another, will be inside 3", easily with the same point of aim.

I call it a m94/6 because the Swedish collectors on another site say they are actually model 94's, not 96's, however tradeex calls them 96's - sure look like 96's to me. For what it matters??

The big plus, was making an easy 3/4" 3-shot groups@ 100 meters with resized 300gr. Hornady RN's at 2,175fps. That is the bullet and load I should have used on that moose, not the 270gr.

2,175fps was the 1912 factory 9.3x62Mauser loading with both soft and solid 286's.

Between my brother and I, we've purchased 2 shotguns, one combination rifle/shotgun and 1 rifle from Anthony.
