Description:

Built around a Belgian-made FN receiver by a gunsmith named "EVANS" and so marked on the trigger guard and the underside of the receiver. Ramp bead front and elevation adjustable notch rear sight, gold accents on the sides of the front sight base, and a wedge of scroll engraving on either side of the breech. The receiver is similarly engraved on over 80% of the surface with gold wire accents on the "butter knife" bolt handle, trigger guard and floor plate, with the latter also decorated with an inlaid and sculpted rams head. A Bausch & Lomb Baltur B scope is mounted with a pair of rings and a one-piece base engraved and gold inlaid to match the receiver. The stock is finely striped blonde hardwood in a full length Mannlicher-style, with contrasting dark hardwood tip and grip cap, skip line checkering, raised shadow-line cheekpiece and a checkered steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good as custom with over 95% of the high polish blue finish showing some light handling marks and edge wear overall along with some mild spotting concentrated on the bolt. The stock is excellent with sharp checkering and attractive grain. The optics are crisp. Mechanically excellent.
