The 1940's vintage Husqvarna built M-1938 Swedish military SR Mausers are my favorite pre-1898 style Mausers to build on, as I think that they are the best ever made in terms of quality materials, skilled workmanship, and end user care/maintenance.
I have one of the Swedish Marksman's Rifle, what they call a "Frivilligia Skytterorelsen", that I haven't shot in over 20 years and several sporterized Sweds. My Norwegian bachelor farmer friend has had me put together several rifles for him on M-1938 Husqvarna actions that are chambered for high pressure cartridge like the 22-250, 6mm REM, 257 Roberts, 260, etc.
