What’s Included
- No additional items are included
Built on a commercial FN Mauser 98-based action, this Husqvarna 640 Hi-Power has the classic features enthusiasts look for: a turned-down round ball-style bolt knob, a bolt left in the white, and a rear flag safety on the bolt shroud. The receiver is drilled and tapped.
The 24" round sporter-contour barrel and polished blue finish give it a clean, traditional sporting profile. The internal 4-round box magazine with steel bottom metal supports the fast .220 Swift cartridge in a proven controlled-round-feed layout.
The walnut stock is set up for right-handed shooting with a shadowline Monte Carlo cheekpiece. It adds functional grip with cut checkering at the grip and forend, plus a steel grip cap. A checkered steel buttplate bearing the Husqvarna crest and an inletted front sling attachment point round out the stock details.
Made in Sweden in 1952, this rifle combines period-correct Husqvarna fit and finish with the strength and reliability of its Mauser-based action. It is a straightforward, classic configuration ready for scope use via its drilled-and-tapped receiver.
