I recently picked up two nifty little Husqvarna single shot bolt rifles, one in .25-20 and the other in .32-20. A few rounds of Winchester ammo came with each, so I took them both up in the country and shot them. I was very pleasantly surprised, these little rifles shoot great!! They are very accurate. They have full octagon barrels and open sights, and have sling swivels on walnut stocks. Sorta' like a rook rifle, I guess, very handy for shooting crows out of the pecan trees down by the lake. I know nothing at all about these little rifles. Who can tell me what about them? I'll likely keep only one of them, but I would like to know the history and background. The action looks similar to a Russian Nagant, it's round and has the split breech at the back, also similar to the German Commission rifle in looks due to the split breech. Any help appreciated.

I am told these rifles chambered in the above mentioned calibers were excellent for poaching on landowner's estates.
The cartridges were subsonic and the bullet worked well on the smaller roe deer found in europe.

Note that this is just hearsay.

I own 2 of these little Husquarna's in .22 LR. I love them.
