As you can see from the link pics, the rifle looks like a forerunner of the 1640 series from the 1960s. Those rifles had the same unchequered schnabel fore end and high-fronted comb with a long drop to the pistol hand.

Their commercial M98 actions had the sliding safety, streamlined bolt shroud, low-scope bolt handle and a simpler, dovetailed rear sight, as seen in the link. The trigger guard on your rifle has the square, unrefined look of a military Mauser, suggesting it does not have a hinged floorplate, though the later bows were not much more elegant.

The barrel-band swivel belies the cheap-and-cheerful look, though. Did Huskies ever come like that? Could it be an austerity postwar model made for the Swedish market, the swivel intended for slinging the rifle in thick forests?
