As I had said in a previous post, I bought a sporterized Husqvarna M38 in 6.5x55!
When I finally got her back home I did an inspection of her, as I do every firearm that I buy. Immediately I found a few things wrong:
#1) The action screws were loose. So I tightened them.
#2) The scope that came with the rifle, had an exceptionally loose eye piece, which made me believe that it had been taken off, and the nitrogen gas inside probably bled out.
#3) When I went to change the scope out, I found out that the rings screws were loose as well. So I changed out the scope, for one I already had, and tightened the rings screws accordingly.
#4) The internal box magazine follower was jammed in the box. How, I don’t know. That was remedied within 2 minutes.
Now, there are some good things!
The bore is looks shiny, and has excellent rifling. The action locks up nice and tight, and is butter smooth.
Also, I know it’s kinda a “bubba-ized” sporterized M38, but it’s a decent one.
Anyways, here are a couple pics of her.
