I just pu a Husqvara ffv 1900 tgt rifle SS B 308. 7 were custom made by Husky as prototypes for the American Shooting cognoscenti back in 1970 in an effort to break into the American long range tgt shooting mkt. This one belonged to Neal Knox spoon writer and VP NRA.
na, it's a British TR gun forgot the name
tailored for 1000 yds match shooting. eg 150/155 grain 308 with a 1/12 twist.
single shot

You probably think of a Carl Gustaf CG63 variant. I always had wanted one of those in 6.5 Swede.. And in the end somebody who "retired"gifted one me..
it was rebarrreld with a krieger barrel,308 again for 1000 yds shooting , with Parker Hale sights. It was a mongrel hybrid everything.. And unfortunately it never really worked well for me. Sights to high for cheek weld , i dunno , i couldn't hit much with it.

looks similar to this one, but with much higher PH sights from an Enfield


The original CG63 was a 300 meter rifle, because that's what Swedish TR was based on, 300 meter.
