As covered before: That is a great rifle.

The HVA 3000 is a commercial small ring 98 called the 1640. It was produced 1953-67. More parts are shared with the LR 98 than the SM 96, to include the trigger. They were Sweden's version of a beefed up 96, taking the best attributes and communality of the LR 98 and making it their own. The action alone is worth $300-$400. They are lightweight and bomb proof.

That is not the original stock or sights. So someone has gone through it. It might have a decent trigger and be bedded. In which case the work is done. Enjoy it.

I own two 1640's currently. Both are platforms for customs. One in 6.5x55 and the other probably in 9.3x62.
