Gentlemen,
Thank you for the advice and your perspective on the rifle and caliber/reloading. I have selectively hunted with Original Mauser Sporters for quite some time but have tired at the constant checking of the Weather Channel before a hunt or even a range session as I am loathe to put one through any avoidable poor weather situation. I have for many years selected this rifle or that (new production Sako, Sauer, Steyr and a selection of American made factory guns) and have always been a bit disappointed (my only recent good experience is with the Mauser M-03). I have a good deal of others but prefer the Mauser action (96 or 98) above all others and am really enamored with the 9.3x57. It seems the Husqvarna and the Carl Gustav sporters are "sleeper" rifles that are oft overlooked by hunters and shooters (myself included). I do know from thousands of 6.5x55 fired from my formerly owned military arms that the rifles are phenomenally reliable and very (extremely) accurate. It is sort of interesting that arms of this quality can be had for such a small sum of cash. From my annual survey of standard factory guns at twice to three times the money the Husqvarna puts them to shame in overall quality. Sville's photographs of his rifle quickly bear out this point. Thanks again for the advice and I shall do some more research, however I think I am sold on this concept.

Kindest regards and respectful thanks
