The Husqvarna 1600's are a better made rifle, and I would buy another one in a heartbeat. I have had a couple and a mate of mine five or six. A Husky 1600 in a beech stock is a lightweight rifle, (definitely lighter than any Brno) but a .30/06 won't hurt you. (So saying, a 220 grain bullet at 2400 fps out of any kind of .30/06 off a bench will get your attention.)

You could be happy with either. Remember that you need specific rings to fit a Brno dovetail. The Husky will probably come with weavers on it already and you can do what you like.

The Brno I had in .223 operated flawlessly, and I still have a set of rings from it. I was flicking through an old magazine the other day and came across an article entitled “Husky in the Takatimus”. You still own that one?
