This is a Husqvarna marketed 30-06 from the early to mid-1950s. Old bluing removed and metal slightly polished in prep for a re-blue. The bottom metal was then finished with Brownell's Oxpho Blue. Since the photos below were taken the bluing on the barrel has been more uniformly removed and the metal polished. It's drilled and tapped for a scope. The Husqvarna crest is quite nice and markings are crisp. Has the factory one-piece steel bottom metal. No trigger. Bolt has the Timney wing safety installed. This was going to be a little project but I've decided to do something else.

$350 shipped in the US to an FFL.

I have shot it a little and found that it did about 1.5" 5-shot groups at 100 yards with high-quality 165 gr. ammo.

There is no pitting at all so far as I can see. Rifling is strong. Fairly bright bore.
 
Surprised this hasn't been grabbed up
 
Me too. I see people spending over $100 just for bottom metal like this has.
 
Its tempting but I just bought a 300 h&h literally 2 days ago and so funds are a bit tight.
 
I need another 30-06 like I need another Ex Wife,But

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
