I was recently gifted this lovely rifle by a treasured friend. It's a very minty Husqvarna 9.3x57mm. My friend had originally gotten this rifle purely for the action to build on, but when it showed up and was so nice he couldn't tear it up. It's a real beauty. The stock is SO well proportioned, and it points very naturally... Almost like a good shotgun. I have dies on the way, and I can't wait to get this going! I can't say enough thanks for such a generous gift, as well as the gift of friendship we've had over the years. It is truly treasured! ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii191/magnumthomas/8ECD1B3E-9B58-433C-9FB9-691A0B98DE65.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii191/magnumthomas/14565B85-A5FB-4219-A630-175CB63318EA.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii191/magnumthomas/5C511C4E-E934-4FAD-8F06-FAD21246E188.jpg)

The pics don't really it justice.
I'll take it out for a stroll this weekend, and get some proper pics of it.
