Hello robertwestmark
Husqvarna made Two versions of the A-Model rifle. The first variation was made off the 1640 action which was a smaller down sized in house made mauser style 98 action. The Improved later version was the Model 1900 action that came out in 1970 time span. it had a smoother feed, improved locking lug and fully adjustable trigger. I have the first Variation rifle chambered in 30-06 that has the 1640 action. It was shipped in 1967 and when I bought it I paid $600.00 for it with the scope mounts but no Glass. I later mounted a period correct Redfield 3-9 wide field scope on it. It is hard to place a value on these guns as most are not aware of how accurate or well made that they are, I feel that I paid average for mine. The later made 1970 Improved model1900 action rifles will net a slightly higher price in the real market. I hope this helps, and here is my 1967 Model 1640 action Husqvarna rifle branded with it's S&W name. Back in the late 1960's to mid 1970's we saw many American gun makers offer European weapons with the American gun makers name on them. For example, Ithaca Gun company sold Tikka brand Finland made rifles, Colt sold the Colt Sauer rifles, S&W sold The Husqvarna rifles and even H&R got in on the European made rifles by producing an in house made rifle that used an FN Mauser 98action made in Belgium mated to a Sako fully adjustable trigger, and an air Gauged Pencil tip target sporter barrel made by Douglas Custom Barrels, who threw out any barrels that were out of dimmension in their entire rifle bore line by more than by 0.001". These gun's were stamped "Ultra-Rifle" by H&R and they had a Fagen Aristocrat stock on them with a Cheek piece and wild roll over Monte carlo design. I Lucked out and found one in Terrific shape a few years ago chambered in Winchester .308 shown below my Husqvarna rifle. Below are three link's that will show the Birth of the later made 1970 Model 1900 actions as well as a list of all the Civilian Husqvarna rifes and a serial number bank of the gun's that Husqvarna produced in their factory.

The H&R Ultra-Rifle. Made in 1967 in house at the H&R factory. The Gun has a Fagen Aristocrat stock on it that ladies in the H&R Plant hand checked. It's action was made by FN of Bellgium and it is mated to a Sako fully adjustable trigger that adjust's for Creep and Tension. The Pencil sporter style barrel was made by Douglas custom barrels and is an air gauged barrel. This gun will shoot one Ragged hole at the 100 Yard line if I do my part right when shooting it. I found a person on the Internet that used to be the sales guy for H&R and he shared with me about these very low Production high end rifles.


Dear Sir
I was the H&R sales agent & ad manager back in the late 70's time span. Your Ultra Rifle sounds like it was one of the rifles built on an FN action with a Sako fully adjustable trigger & floor plate assembly. H&R bought the actions, used Fajen stocks (farmed out checkering to a couple of ladies who worked in the H&R Plant) and H&R Mated the Douglas air Gauge barrels into the Actions once they shipped in and orderes were placed for them. I had a Sako Ultra Mannlicher-stocked 7 mm Remington Magnum on loan from the factory. Handsome gun if you like the extreme stock styling. Dumb chambering - gun was a 20" carbine. Shortly before I started working for them, the deal with Sako for their actions fell through, and H&R started using the Yugoslavian Zavasta Mauser ( true '98 actions.) Your gun is far superior, at least as far as the action & Barrel is concencerned, as you all ready Know Nothing Trump's a Belgium Made action made by FN Mated with an adjustable Sako Trigger assembly, & Douglas air Gauged custom sporter barrel. All these guns were virtually custom made at H&R, and total production of all Ultras was very, very low. They were built in small batches and usually sat in inventory until an order came in. Personally I never cared for the styling of the wood, and in 1980 - I think - they came out with an additional "Classic" model. These guns didn't last long because H&R went belly up in the early 80's. Hope this is of some help.














Here is the actual Target that I shot sighting in my H&R Ultra-rifle. The last four shot's are in the bulls eye all in a diameter less than that of a Half of a dime shot at the 100 yard line.
