I owned many center fire rifles but I wasn't completely satisfied with any of them until I found an old 1640. It has a ton of character, shoots great, carries really nicely at 6 lbs and I don't mind adding a scratch to it. It's made for hunting!

I've searched for the perfect rifle since 1966. I found it (almost) last March, a Husqvarna 1640. The only shortcoming is the safety doesn't block the striker.....it needs a M.70 safety to be absolutely perfect.
