Herb,

That is indeed a very handsome looking rifle for a factory made example. Congratulations. The wood is particularly good and so is the dark blueing.

I am glad they have reverted to pre-64 bolt. One of the most foolproof design and they owe it to Mauser '98.

Cheers !!!!

Dang, Herb, that is sweet!
It's so nice that I would be afraid to take it out hunting.
That is one good looking rifle!

Indeed Vikram these are one of the best value out there for a non custom off the shelf rifle.

Very true! The Model M70 and FN98 used in the older Browning Safari are my favorite variations of the the M98
