Cool beans man. As long as it works for you, that's all that counts. Looks like a slick old mauser to me. It's that old Husqvarna M146 I rechambered Ive posted on here before. It's a good old rifle. I like It. I remember when you posted that M146 before. The forward slanted bolt handle is memorable. Did you have to do any rail work when you rechambered to X62? Internet postings seem split on the need to do so with M146s. I believe I was one of the lucky ones! Mine required no rail work. I've heard from others who did have to perform a bit of modification on theirs.

While I am biased towards the CZ (I have a 550 Lux in 9.3 from the the late 90's), it comes down to which one do you like?
I have a tough choice at times because right next to the CZ sit's my Ruger M77RS in 35 Whelen.....
Best of luck in your decision. My opinion hasn't changed from 2011, I'm still very fond of my CZ 550 Lux and over the past several years it gets taken to the field way more than my heavier 338 Win. Mag. It's set up with a 1.5-5x Leupold w/ Heavy Plex in Talley rings. StarchedCover

I've tried out CZ, Ruger, two customs on 98 Mausers, and now two 98 Husqvarnas in 9.3X62 and like this latest one, the only one I have presently, second only to a semi-custom put together on a Mauser action by Mike McCabe, which I sold in a moment of insanity. This commercial-actioned Husqvarna 640 was only $399.00 at a site on line. I added a low scope safety and Timney trigger I had in my misc parts drawer, then I put on a Loopy VXIII 2.5-8 I took off a rifle that will get sold soon and tried out some of my old reloads. It shot 1" 3-shot groups off the hood of my truck with sandbags. I'm keeping this one, unle$$ $omeone come$ along and want$ it a whole lot more. ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/001_zpsexonkdtq.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/002_zpswhxuvwm6.jpg)

Stuck new glass on my 9.3 x 62 last week. VX 3, 1.5 x 5 I took in a trade. We'll see how this works. I've wanted to try one on this rifle for a while. Should fit my needs just fine!! ![[Linked Image]](http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r174/lt13demi/IMG_4603.jpg) THAT reeks of Class, Kaywoodie! Rates a two-cool...

i've been curious as to how consistent a chin weld can be when a scope is mounted high, compared to cheek weld when a scope is mounted relatively low

About the same level asthe corner of my mouth, I still have a good bit of cheek on the stock. It's just a tad lower than most are used to.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
