Back around 1966 or so I bought a Husqvarna Husky in 30-06. Sold it aroud 1969 as the thing literally beat me to death. Very lightweight, 20" barrel and a plastic butt plate didn't help. I later learned from another short barreled rifle (20" again) that is was the muzzle blast that did me in. Too late I learned as I really liked that Husky. I would love to find another one someday. I do have a Husqvarna 30-06 with 24" barrel that I bought as a barreled action. I placed in in a stock I found on line and glass bedded it but due to circumstances beyond my control have not shot it. Whoever had that one before me put a Timney trigger on the gun and it's set up quite nicely triggerwise. About 2.5 pounds according to my tester.
