Take a look at this thread - http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/9925390/1/husqvarna_mauser

It would be hard to find something more classic than one of these. There seem to be lots of them out there right now, I recall looking at a site than had a ton of them listed, it was something like Simpsons or Simpsons Ltd. out of Illinois IIRC.

I have seen some really nice ones in the $350 - $450 price range. Pretty darned good for something does not even need restocking unless you have a desire to do it.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

I bought mine from Simpsons several weeks ago. Just make sure the description states good condition for the stock otherwise expect to be replacing it in which case just buy a new modern rifle. I really like mine and I already hunted with it, one successful shot and my freezer is full. I love the old worn finish on the stock. I'm using the iron sights so no weight added to the gun. Mine has the 20.5" barrel and weighs 6 lbs, awesome carrying gun!

This is a real classic. Plus you know it's going to be accurate.
