gathumper:

If you decide to roll the dice with SARCO, maybe first get some form of guarantee that you can send the rifle back if it turns out to be a lemon or otherwise not to your liking.

It is NOT true that a "rifle listed as a small-ring 96, 9.3" is a Model 46.

It would be a 46 if it were a Husqvarna factory-built rifle in original condition, built as a commercial sporter. But some of the rifles that are coming in are Vapen Depoten or Stiga rebuilds/sporterized milsurp action rifles. Some of these are really nice rifles but obviously would not be HVA's and not model 46's.

I am trying my best to help you here, but I won't comment on a description on the SARCO site, or on a model designation or even on a picture shown on their site. I personally have no confidence that what they are showing or describing is in fact what you will receive in the mail. Yes, that is based purely on my experience with them. I have never dealt with a company like them. Problems can occur with any dealer of course, but in my opinion some seem intent on making it standard practice. I do not want to see you get burned and I wouldn't want to be part of it.

Best is to inspect the gun before buying, or at the very least get a guarantee that you can ship it back if it isn't what you wanted. You might do well.

Remember, these Swede castaways are here for a reason; they are just that, castaways. Swedish law essentally limits the number of firearms that may be owned. If that limit is reached and another gun desired to be purchased, one has to go, and it is a safe bet that the best gun in the rack isn't going to get shipped to Yankdom and Canuckville. The funny twist to all of this is that some of the rifles coming in are in excellent condition and many of those that have some warts nevertheless have excellent bores and are excellent rifles once some issue or two is resolved. The probability is that you will have some level of damage {cracked stock, etc} that will have to be addressed. That is the case regardless of the source from which you buy. My personal experience with Allan has been excellent, and he has an excellent reputation on the Swedish Commercial Arms site. Is is possible that you could get a lemon from him? Sure, but my experience has been predictably excellent with him.

As for SARCO, I feel a bit like I'm playing Russian Roulette with 5 chambers loaded.
