IMO way over priced, but I am astonished often by what used and second hand firearms are selling for nowadays.

And also what some new rubbish tupperware sells for.

yes price is to high but only because there are thousends and demand is not in thousends. they are nice as any best gun and you loved it when you have one.
ok, they are probably not there every day in australia because its a long way to ... sweden.

No wonder Homer you were tempted!
Read an old article in an Outdoors magazine where they jacked a round in the chamber & supposedly filled the bore with sand & pulled the trigger - rifle was still OK after that!
Tough stuff those Huskies!

That one is in nice shape, Homer, but it is about $1,200.00 over priced, imho.

Good serviceable working rifle and excellent having a M98 action and a good cartridge chambering. But like most Huskies the stock is very plain and cheap. In these days of tupperware rifles selling for ridiculous prices though ...

Sold in an hour ... per the advert.

If only we could import firearms from North America and Europe at reasonable costs ...

Husqvarna 1600 in 9.3x62:
$695.00 Cdn. - today in US funds - $557.00 US.

more:

Husqvarna 1900 in 9.3x62 for $795.00 - looks pretty good, on page 2. The notches- well, what can I say? A refinish is necessary, anyway. There are 18 pages of used guns, mostly Husqvarna's.

G'Day Fella's,

Thank You for your replies.
Yes, this blokes asking price,is the reason I didn't even bother to get in a discussion with him.
It looks to be Very Nice but Waaaaay overpriced.
And Thank You for confirming this, with your replies, and also those links, to other/similar Husky's.

If I could have handled the rifle, and confirmed it was in Original Condition etc, etc, I may have made an offer (a lot lower than the asking price), but ............

Happy Easter to You and Yours!
Homer

The trouble is Homer, people seem to pay some ridiculous prices nowadays. However sometimes while someone might pay 3x what something cost not many years ago, later on, another example might sell for only 2x what it cost a few years before ... the market is out of my reckoning now. But hopefully mine are worth a mint as well then.

The price is reasonable and negotialble.

G'Day again,

This one is in the same chambering as the above one (which did sell on the same day t was advertised) but made by Brenneke, and asking a huge amount of $.
But you can't just "Sally" down to your local gun shop, and find one of these, so ..............

G'Day Fella's,

Here is yet another, very tempting rifle ........, well not at this asking price!
https://usedguns.com.au/gun/356916/

How many/few ZG47's, were ever made in this chambering?
Not a lot I imagine, so for this one to find its way, all the way down to the Antipodes, must make it pretty rare.

D'oh!

Finally someone starting to realise what a great calibre the 9.3x64mm is!

Comment: Classic Voere Kufstein Austria manufacture, big game rifle. Minimal wear for its age, Leupold 3x Scope, set trigger, palm swell and cheek piece stock.
Sold in a day - good price too!

Yes John Neale is very happy with it. Was a bargain for sure, I am going out at the end of June to his place and will get to test it out
