Just jumped in to say hey .
I'm a 9.3x57 guy for years ..... habitually Husqvarna .....

Gorgeous rifle, I love a good rounded semi-pistol grip! Great choice of bullets too!

Had to come back and look at your terrific rifle ... oh.... and thanks again for the nice words on mine ..... I use 200 grain Hawk Bullets with .30 jacket ..... wierd I haven't crony'd them yet .... gonna do that this week ..... it's on my list .... three deer so far with that rifle last year .... DRT !!!! ..... no recovery on any bullet .... but exit was size of quarter ..... broke off side shoulder on two of them .... she groups very nice cloverleaf's at 100yd's .... I got very lucky. Just wondering what bullet yall shoot ???

Was the 146 rechambered to 9.3x62? Because if it's factory and the barrel is marked "9.3x62" and it looks similar to the Model 146, then its probably a Model 246. The 246 is a fairly rare rifle and Husqvarna only made a few of them. The 146s were 98s and were only made in 9.3x57 as far as I know. The 46s were small ring 96s.

Yes ... mine was rechamered to 9.3x62 .... my GS stamped the x 62 .... I thought he did a great job ..... left all the factory wording on top of barrel. Bought the rifle a couple of decades ago from Simpsons.... was listed as model 146 .... 9.3x57 just chamber reamerd...... a nd again got very lucky..... had some old Nosler 232 grain Vulcans ..... and shoot wonderfull .... only one Bear trip .... but no luck ..... my pictures aren't the best ....

HWL what a beautiful rifle!

Here are a few pics from my Volvo... Husqvarna Mod 146 and accessories .
Previous owner: new stock, shortened the barrel and removed the open sights....
Me: Timney trigger, silencer and new recoil pad.

Those have to be the most Swedish pictures I've ever seen on this forum. Fin tjur.

Very nice! I also have a 146 that I had rechambered to x62. Later on down the road, I ended up getting my hands on a beautiful 246 as well. They're great rifles... I see you also replaced the bolt sleeve and trigger it looks like?

I have a Husky 146 made in Sweeden and a FN the same, both are 9,3x57 98 Mausers punched out to 9,3x62 for $125, each... 57 to 62 is a tad, could almost do that with my fingernail or pocket knife!

 

[RayAtkinson]

The 9.3x57 is the European version of the 358 Win...Id opt to punch it out to a 9.3x62 the poor mans 375 H&H with a 286 gr at 2570 fps or more in my gun. That conversion is $50 give a take a $10..

 

[MS 9x56]

I love those Norma 232 grain Vulcans. Great bullet.
