Husqvarna Model 456 with scarce factory Mannlicher style stock. 30-06. Excellent

Description:

A beautiful example of the scarce and superb mannlicher stocked Husqvarna Model 456 lightweight rifle in the ever popular 30-06 caliber. S/N 225224 A with matching # bolt. 21” slim contour barrel. The bore is bright with strong rifling and is generally very good with some slight roughness in the grooves at the chamber end only. Mechanical functions are all excellent with a crisp and glassy smooth trigger break. 98% Blue, 98% Varnish on the very nicely figured wood with some scattered light marks. One of my all time favorite rifles, these Swedish made Husqvarna 4000 series are among the most perfectly balanced and greatest shouldering sporting rifles ever produced. They are very high quality, and also a great value, combining true master craftsmanship, a well proven HVA Mauser type action with robust claw extractor, and very graceful stock lines which usually feature a schnabel fore-end tip (this one is the scarcer factory full stock version) and pancake style cheekpiece along with high quality checkering (including the forearm panels).
Good examples of these rifles are hard to find, and they simply can not be beat for the money.
