FN old school varmint rifle. Apex barrel in 223 Remington. This is the rifle that I’m searching for a trigger and period correct scope. She originally had an Unertl set up…

Previous owner sold it.
Going with Burris E1 for now. Might try and restore it if I keep it.

One of my dad's friends had an FN Mauser single shot action NIB several years ago. Had plans of building a heavy barrel 222 REM. but I have no idea if he ever accomplished that.

Triple Deuce would be pretty 😎.... This one is just a generic 223 Rem.

This gentleman had a small man cave filled with all kinds of cool gun stuff. He would tell me feel free to look at anything you want, just handle it safely and put it back where I found it. I truly miss him and my dad. His kids were not into guns and I believe they sold all of his stuff after he passed.

That is a really cool one, John. Never had the ss version. An older Weaver K10 or one of the T series would be nice on that rig.

That's what I was going to buy and use until it came in and it turned out to be a matte black. It wears my Burris E1 currently. I'll post an updated picture tomorrow. All she needs is a trigger.....

Timney or??? Just as long as it's not a military although that could ride me over until I can find something.

I have a Dayton-Traister that won’t work on my rifle without filing back the cocking piece, which I’m not prepared to tackle.

PM on the way.

That's the Mauser I've always held a candle for. Good for you. Such a classic, and with the solid bottom, such a shooter. Buddy had one, he let me fire five, grouped in the low 4s with all touching -- and it was windy. Good for you!
