re: Lakelander/Varberger/Konigsberg

Picked up a very affordable "Made in Sweden" rotary mag Varberger 30-06. I got a deal on it because it was missing a part (that I just happened to have.)

Its their later very basic model with no iron sights, 3 bolt locking lugs (instead of six or nine) and a simple walnut stock with no grip cap or recoil pad, functional checkering and no cracks. I have seen this version called the Model 717, or the "Jaguar" (sometimes stamped on the receiver, but not on mine.) It is very well machined with an ultra-smooth low lift bolt, a nice big (and warm) walnut bolt knob and a very crisp (and adjustable) trigger.

I like the clean "Less is More" reductive Scandinavian design.

I particularly like the fact that on this rifle (unlike earlier models?) the scope mount holes in the front receiver ring and in the rear receiver bridge are identically spaced and level to one another. The Weaver Mauser front base #46 fits both but I put an older "lucky" 4X Swarovski (German 4-A reticle) on it with Talley rings (two #11A bases). This scope has seen a lot of game. I may actually take the Varberger hunting, and not just as a backup spare rifle.
