My first centerfire rifle was a Husqvarna 1640 in .30-06. I still have it and I still don't *really* need anything else to do what I want to do with a rifle.
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!
