	This is a stunning survivor. It is a very scarce (in US) Husqvarna Model 33 "Bird Rifle" chambered in 8x58R Saurer (brass and dies available through several commercial outlets). I have no qualms describing its as Excellent Antique Condition. It retains over 95% of original finishes. The receiver has brilliant case colors. Bore is immaculate. Fullstocked Model 33 rifkes are hard to find in any condition. Other than my personal one, this is the finest example I have seen in over 20 years of collecting Scandinavian rolling blocks. It is unlikely that another like this will come along soon. $1500 + Shipping. Antique ships directly to your door. Mire photosavailable. .

	Why is it called a "bird rifle" ? Is 8mm Sauer the same as 8mm Danish Krag?

	These rifles were traditionally used for hunting a large species of grouse called a Capercaille in Scandinavian countries. These birds typically roost in the top of trees. The calibers these rifles came in seem like way overkill for a grouse. I have one in the same caliber only mine is a half stock. Steve. 😀

	gmkmd, no. This one is based on the British 360 2 1/4 basic dimensions. The Danish is a military round in a much larger case. These rifles were made up until 1915 but everyone considers them antiques by appearance. The normal half stocked rifles are much more common than the rare full stocked. They were made in numerous calibers, maybe mostly in 9.3x57R (360), and the 8x58R Sauer is a more rare one. I really lucked into finding my full stocked 9.3x57R (360). They are beautiful little rifles and the contours of the action make it what I would consider the most interesting of any rolling block. Here's a close up of my half stock action.

	Mine was a full stocked 33A in 9.5x47R which chambered .38-55 brass, but with smaller bullet diameters. Sold it awhile back and it was in excellent condition with all original finish. Mine had a Lyman Special Flexible Base tang sight on it.

	The 8x58R Saurer is different from the .360.
