A 9.3 x62 is being conceived
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.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

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
