Nice job. If you intend hunting with it, you better think of adding some waterproof overcoating, such as wax or alike. It will need less maintnenance to keep it clean if you do so.

As for the 7mm in the EE, depending on S/N it's either a Grade II or a Lyx.

My Husky gets a lathering of double boiled linseed oil every couple months and after it's been in the elements. How does that hold up?
 
It works, but the wood isn't sealed to deal with nordic weather.

Warm beeswax is what you wanna use: it's much easier to spread when warmed, and I do like using a heat gun (don't overheat, just enough to melt the wax) then you have to scrape the excess - don't do this with a sharp blade, a squared plate - back of the blade - works great or warm up the wax again and scrub hard with superfine stell whool....
 
Baribal there is no way I'd be able to scrape the excess wax off without taking a millimetre of wood with it. Can you just apply a super thin layer and spread it around and then buff by hand with a cloth or something?
 
Well, that's the normal way to do it. Scraping warm wax doesn't take that much pressure. You can rry to spread it with 000 steelwhool, but you will need to keep the wax quitw warm. If you're not used to work wax, use a hair dryer, not a heat gun.
After spreading the wax all over, you will need to preceed quite a bit of polishing.
 
Thanks Baribal, I'll give it a try with a hair dryer when the time comes.

There was a gorgeous grade III in 308 that just sold on Alberta outdoorsmen. I missed the boat on it.
 
Thanks, you are a font of information Baribal.

It seems googling anything about Huskies and your name comes up.

If I can try you one more time; is the factory reciever hole an 6-48 thread?
 
Thanks for the that. My goal is to give as much as I can.

Of course. And to Weaver standard hole spacing.

Just pulled the trigger on this. I wouldn't mind knowing a little more about it, it's an FN98 action in 8x57.
This will be my new deer rifle, couldn't be more excited right now. :cool:

You will need a low swing safety if you want to scope it properly, otherwise it's extra high or see through rings. They are not expensive and don't usually require much fitting.
 
Do you by chance know if I could use a low swing 'sniper' safety off of a k98 to remedy this?

I was just looking at one on Tradeex.
Just browsing cheaper alternatives now, like the Buehler safety Timney makes.

Timney usually goes in pretty easy with minimum effort... Minor filing or stoning.
The Dayton safety needs a little notch ground out of the cocking piece. Both work well for low scope mounting.
Other options are Bold/Timney triggers with side safety but requires removal of some wood to fit. Since your stock already has a repaired wrist that might be the way to go.
