Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Tradewinds “Husky” rifle represents a union of precision engineering and practical design, built for the discerning sportsman who values accuracy without unnecessary weight. It combines the refined craftsmanship typically reserved for higher-end sporting arms with a price point that made it accessible to American hunters and shooters during the mid-20th century. Originally manufactured in Sweden by Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB from the early 1950s through the 1960s, the rifle was built on the company’s proprietary small-ring HVA action—an improved, lightweight variant inspired by the Mauser 98 design. Husqvarna’s reputation for precision machining and durable materials made the Husky a respected choice for those seeking a rugged, accurate bolt-action rifle. These rifles were imported into the United States under the Tradewinds brand, a Washington-based firearms importer that marketed them broadly during the post-war sporting boom.

These rifles were imported into the United States under the Tradewinds brand, a Washington-based firearms importer that marketed them broadly during the post-war sporting boom.
When Husqvarna ceased bolt-action rifle production in the late 1960s to focus on other firearm lines, Tradewinds continued the Husky name by sourcing rifles from Kriegeskorte (Krico) in Germany. While these later models retained the Husky branding, they were built on different actions and featured notable design differences from the original Swedish-made rifles. Each rifle was proof-tested to handle high-pressure loads, ensuring safe and consistent performance under demanding conditions. Stocked in finely finished, fully seasoned walnut, the rifle’s furniture often featured white line spacers and hand-cut checkering on both the full pistol grip and forend, providing a secure hold even in wet or sweaty conditions.
This thoughtful stock geometry allowed quick alignment with both iron sights and optics, critical in the field. True to its name, the Husky was built for hard use. Lightweight, reliable, and inherently accurate, it quickly became a favorite among hunters in North America and beyond. Today, both the Swedish and German Husky rifles remain prized for their build quality and field-ready utility, living up to their reputation as trusted companions in the wilderness.
