I can see why many a gun enthusiast took the actions from these very well made weapons and “sporterized” them by putting custom stocks, barrels, triggers, etc to turn them into more modern rigs.Īll the serial numbers match (barrel, action, & stock) which means that it is most likely a factory original….did I mention from 1891? Amazing really that a gun created back then could still look and function as well as it does. After having racked the bolt back and forth a few times on a gun like this you would probably agree, as I do.
It’s a fine weapon and has what many agree as the smoothest and most well functioning action ever created. It’s not like I actually needed a old bolt action gun like this for any useful purpose (hunting persay), but now that I have it I have found that I wouldn’t actually mind hunting with it at all. I picked this gun up from a co-worker who was trying to dispose of some older things that he never really used.
