My rifle is in fact a Husky but idk about the 640. It says "Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB .30-06 US" on the barrel. Nothing more, nothing less. But It was the only rifle my grandfather ever bought for himself and it has been passed down from him to my dad to me. It killed his last deer and elk, my dad's first bull, my first buck and every one since minus my bow kills and one forked horn I shot with my revolver. The bolt handle isn't straight, it's just the angle of the camera. I had a timeny trigger out on a few years ago. 58.8gr of Ramshot Hunter and a 180gr Partition seated to SAAMI specs results in pretty little clover leaves at 100yds. The rifle shoots better than I do.
Very nice and a fine heirloom with a story. You did your Grandfather proud.
Yes, it's a Model 640. They're built on FN 98 actions Husqvarna imported in the 1930's through 1950's. Fine rifles with very good hammer forged barrels. I always found it odd that FN sold highest quality commercial actions to a Swedish company during the war. I have one in 8mm.
Again, welcome aboard and thank you for your adventure story.
