Daryl,

And a perfectly valid observation too, my friend! Always enjoy your posts and I was also guessing about the reasons for this based on Justcurious and your posts - hopefully, we'll hear from Ola soon, as well as get more pics of his work.

Good hunting!

I could assure you that she's a fine gal with healthy interests! She earlier bought a light, fully engraved Otto Bock rifle from me in calibre 8x57I in mint condition , sadly she couldn’t shoot it because of the recoil, so she ordered a well suited 9.3 instead.

The scope has a eyerelife at 7-8 cm, and is placed at 8cm from here eyes, and realy low. it suites here well, even she's not a giraffe!

Update:

Ola just finished the next steps and now it is mostly finished.

What was done:

- Replaced flag safety with M/70 3-way style safety (Ola will add extra safety arm later).
- Glass bedded
- Fitted a Leupold 3x24 scope in Recknagel swing mounts.
- Replaced bolt handle.
- Shortened stock by an inch or so as it was far too long before.

Some pics:

Thanks everyone, I'm very happy on how it turned out. It's a pleasure to shoot.

The sling is a vintage, british one, bought from a UK dealer. Don't know the maker.

And the rifle have finally been to Africa (Namibia), a wonderful trip and the rifle performed perfectly. Loaded with 286 grains Woodleigh RN, which was more than adequate for african game.

First game, a Red Hartebeest, around 200 yards, shot through the heart:



And a mountain zebra, frontal shot at 80-90 yards:

Clark,

First of all, congratulations! Magnificent trophies with a beautiful rifle - isn't it wonderful when a dream project with a lovely custom rifle and an African hunt comes together? And, especially, thank you for this post. It is particularly nice of you to remember to share hunt pictures with a rifle that all of us enjoyed seeing being put together!

If you have time, please consider either writing a hunt report for the African hunting forum, or write an article for our E-zine.

Good hunting!

Thanks so much for the very kind words guys!

There's something really special in building a rifle and dreaming of once taking it to Africa, and then actually fulfilling that dream. And you appreciate it even more when having used it for what it was made for.

I have had a few of the Husqvarna Mausers ( none as nice as yours) and have found all were well adjusted working type weapons.The wood on the rifles i owned was quite plain Beech . I am guessing that Husqvarna fitted their rifles with different kinds of wood. Of course 9.3x62 is a most excellent caliber and having a Husqvarna in any of the 9.3's is something to be proud of.

The 46 and 146 model was both made before or during WW2 on either 96/M38 or FN M98 actions, in both 9,3x57 and 9,3x62. After the war these models were replaced by the 640 model and subsequently the 1600, which was built on either M98, 96/m38 and Husqvarnas own, "improved" M98. They were available in different qualities and many of them hade Beech or even Birch wood, and they had lost the elegant shape of the pre-WW2 46 and 146.

Still workable and usable rifles though, but never of the quality of the earlier rifles.

Here is mine. I picked it up at a gun show about a month ago.
Has a Timney trigger and Decelerator Pad. Glass bedded.
Excellent bore and original blue. 9.3 x 57 Made in 1943.

I had a real nice one once upon a time. It was all original and in minty condition
with the early rounded pistol grip stock. I did use it to shoot deer and bear.
But I sold it because the stock was too long for me, I wanted to mount a scope and
didn't want to drill it or cut the stock down.

Yes, Igorrock you are right. Because of the problems during the war they did some of them with the old small ring m96 action. My father has one of those from 1941.

thats not a M 146 but a M 46 A in production from 1942 to 1945 because Husqvarna cant get M 98 actions anymore. http://www.skydevaaben.com/allhvamodels/info.xml
its new to me that they were marked with 9,3x57



my information was that Husqvarna wrote only 9,3 because it WAS allways the 9,3x57.
like here on my own 1937 made M 46


it was put about it they only start with the M 46 AN what is basically the same rifle like the M 46 A but in 9,3x62 to engrave "9,3x62" to distinct this from the common "9,3".


it seems this statement was wrong
