This has the commercial FN 98 action, Bold trigger, 4X Redfield Frontier, high opens that clear the scope base sight picture and allow for using the iron sights. The bore is good, and there's no rust, bluing is good, barrel band sling front swivel. The stock has a rough exterior, but there are no cracks or splits. It needs to be refinished.

This would make a perfect donor for that 9,3X62 you might want. Send it off to JES. With the high iron sights and QD mounts it would make a great safari rifle.

It's second from the top.

$550.00 with scope and rings

Shipping $65.00 to lower 48.

I'll take a couple more detailed photos on Sunday. I'm going fishing tomorrow.

I was thinking hard about buying it to do the exact same thing. Please let us know how it turns out.

Good deal. I recently sold an original 649 to a gent who promptly broke the stock. I regret selling it to him. That battel profile makes for a nice, light weight, quick handling rifle. Gonna help a buddy rebarrel his to 9,3x62 soon.

Beautiful rifle and fantastic deal to whomever gets it. I have one in '06. Only thing I did to it was bed it to stop the usual tang crack from starting. Easily shot sub moa with some off the shelf 150gr. Who knows how many rounds down the pipe. Think its a '51 or '52. Gonna be a hammer in 9.3!

Back Up

The stock is pretty rough, but no cracks or splits. I have reduced the price to $468.00, shipped to the lower 48.

My hunting days are coming to an end.
