Howdy from Wyoming. Was looking for some Husqvarna knowledge and came across your fine establishment, read some threads, and figure this might be a good place to ask some questions so here goes.
2-3 years ago I got a nice deal on a Husqvarna rifle in .270 Winchester. According to this site
https://www.rex.gl/serials.html it's serial #,122662, IDs it as being made in 1950. It has been well used and needs to have the stock refinish but it still shoots beautifully. According to the seller it had belonged to his grandfather who bought it new in the 50s and used it to hunt all kinds of game in Colorado and Wyoming.
There is no model name on it just Husqvarna Vapenfabriks A.B .270 Win and the serial number. From pics and articles I'm pretty sure it a model 640 but I'd like to get some other opinions if possible. Trying to find detailed info on Husqvarna rifles has been interesting to say the least since as far as I can determine they stopped making rifles in 1967.
Didn't care for the Bushnell T4124 4X12X40 Sportview duplex & fine double cross hair scope that it came with so currently it's wearing a Leupold M8-4X duplex, medium to thin cross hair, scope but I haven't been able to try it out yet, it's still kinda sorta winter up here. I also have a nice old Weaver K3-60 B post and cross hair series I want to try on it.
I no longer hunt and mostly shoot my rifles a 100 to 200 yards out at my local range and both the Weaver and Leupold work fine at those distances.
The original rear sight is missing so I'm going to replace it, maybe with a nice fold down Marble set up.
