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!

Swweeeeeet!

That's a hunting rifle and it begs to go after elk,bear or even deer.

Oh I definitely plan on hunting it!

About as good as it gets....

Classy looking rifle, glad it got saved from the butcher block.

Wow!

The Friend, I mean. The rifle's awfully nice, too!

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

That is definitely classy. Sounds like you have a generous friend.

Don't think that friend is a stranger to many here

I am proud to call him a pal, and can't thank him enough for all he has shared with me.

I agree!

Beautiful rifle! Congrats on it. Skookum cartridge...

Lovely rifle. Can you tell us when it was made?

Very nice indeed, I'd use it just as it is. Magnum Man

I love the huskys!! I have one of the mod 46's built on the 96 action it is a alot of fun to shoot.

Very nice!

Fantastic rifle! Congrats.

I run on to those occasionally up here and the guys that have them love them. One of my friends has one. It handles like a wand and he loves it for moose. Great rifle and a great friend you have there.

Cool beans Tom and kudos to your friend!

Those potato launchers are fun and they are about as sweet a handling rifle as there is.

WAAAAY cool!

Very nice rifle.. Thanks for the photos..

tom i loved mine but you know..........

Hahaha I know...
BTDT my friend. This one will always be a keeper though.

Tom- didn't see any reports on how the 9.3 shot….did you run into any issues with hand loads. I ran accross an old Handloader article (April 2013) by Gil Sengal on a 46 in 9.3X57. Might be worth a read if you have a copy. Regards, Bruce

I took it out and shot the little bit of Norma factory ammo that I had for it, and it did nicely. With the barrel sights I was able to get about 2" groups at 100yrds.
I've been on mandatory OT with work since before the holidays and haven't had the chance to put together any handloads for it or get it out again. Everything is here and waiting on me.
