This one started as a FN Imperial grade Mauser my father in law bought a couple of months before I was born in '61 for the sum of $165. Chet Brown re-barreled it in the late 70's and I had his son Mark finish it off last year. Nice handling rig.
As a 61' baby, I can appreciate that. Beautiful photos. What's the barrel make and contour?

It's got a pretty slender build. At the muzzle it's only at .585 inch. When I got to talking to Mark Brown about it he said his Dad used different makes of barrels so we couldn't pin it down as to manufacturer. Here's what she looked like before the makeover. ![[Linked Image]](http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww235/JohnnyLimbo/DSCF0079_zpslgixp5wg.jpg) [/URL][/img]

Looks to me like it's close to a Douglas no. 1
Nice makeover!

Cooper Classic Schnabel 308 w/ 165ttsx I've only owned one Cooper with a Schnaebel fore-end. It's a diminutive model 38 chambered for the 22 Hornet. Would love to see more pix of your rifle. Model 52? ya! GWB
