Will its in the works. A FN supreme action, Lothar Walter barrel at 25 1/2" ( just for Ray ;+) ) Claro walnut stock, Maybe not to final profile yet, still mulling it over. It will get checkered by Sherry Abraham, haven't decided on which pattern yet though. Scope Hm... probably a Leupold. NECG front band sight
and I hope a flip up peep in the rear end of the rear scope base.

Thanks for the compliment fla3006. The safety is a Dakota. By the way when is the next Houston show? Forgot to mention that I am finishing this stock with Pro Custom Oil. Thought i would give a try.

I can't tell from the picture - has the rear tang been reshaped? FN Supreme's are wonderful actions, but I could never abide the hump-backed grip of the factory stocks caused by the military tang profile. Nice rifle.

Doug,

I've been looking at the Lothar Walter barrels for a project. Which barrel and contour is that?


As usual just my $.02

I've got a similar deal going on a 1952 model 70 action - NECG sights. Talley barrel band. CM pac-nor #3, 12" twist, @24". Haven't figured the stock yet, but leaning towards english. Your's looks great, a fine rifle in a fine caliber.

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty!!!

In a great caliber too! As Rick said ... you'll love it. (He introduced me to the 9,3x62. Was a very good turn.)

Thanks guys. Glen the tang is still in original form for now. Ramrod I got lazy on this one & just ordered the artical # 722 barrel already threaded & chambered from Woody at Lothar Walter. Its .650 at the little end although I did turn it down to 1.750 at the big end. Big Grin
