Now do ya wana dance wid Mr T????





This is a Husq..varna FF,V 19.00 TGT/Varmit wt a 3.08 hvy SS B... Well now I am gona hear you say this must be a after mkt custom cause Husky never made this in this configuration... Well you would be wrongo Boyo... it is one of 7 made up by Husky via a smith/shooter named Wright back in 70. Husky wanted to break into the long range tgt mkt...so they built em and gave em out to noted shooters and spoon writers for their approval.. WOWZA!!! This is the fourth one to come to the surface...

I have been after and watching the Swedes for quite a while...luv that 6.5...This one came up, it looked unusual...so I did my due diligence and did some looking about..so I knew what it was.Surprisingly no one seemed to grasp how rare it is. . After the fact I found out that this one had been sold in 12/20 at a PA auction (by SN)...as part of the estate of Neil Knox...well Mr Knox was a noted spoon writer and WAS VP OF THE NRA..beat out by Charlie Heston for Prez..so it stands to reason he would be on the short list to get one of these from Husky. The auction house in PA fked up cause their description sucked...so this went real cheap..I paid more, about what a std config Husky would go for...which isn't much considering the quality you get from Husky..

I even contacted Knox's son, he verified that his dad owned it..and that he had shot it back in the day. So thing thing is quite special.
