Biathlonman;
Your question twigged something in my memory, so I trundled downstairs and went through my yet to be completed Gun Digest collection.

Sure enough in the 1983 Gun Digest, on page 6 an story by Robert K. Sherwood called, "Six Working Guns" shows what looks to me to be a Husqvarna 1898 type Mauser chambered in 6.5x55.

In the article he says he bought it from Tradewinds in the '60's and specifically calls it a Husqvarna Crown Grade.

Regarding the FN vs Husqvarna manufactured actions, I always thought the Swedish made 98's had their own bolt release, whereas the FN's always looked like the basic 98 bolt release.

I note that was an I thought and think - not an I know.

Hopefully that was some use to you and good luck on your search.

Regards,
Dwayne
