Sighting in a new-to-me FN Browning 30-06

[A-zone]

Sighted in a recently acquired 1950's (?) vintage FN Browning chambered in 30-06.

I mounted a 1-4 Trijicon and put several 150 grain plain-vanilla Hornady Interlocks through it.
The plan initially was to mount an older Leupold 2-7 in QD mounts, but the Trijicon really shines as a hunting optic. Bright and quick on the target. 1-4x is a nice range.


Distance was 100 metres, 3-shot groups from a standing rest. Pleased with the results.
Not sure how to rotate the images (they are laying 90 degrees on their left side

Nice shooting azone. Got a pic of the rifle?

And this is why I rarely buy new production guns...I'll find me something 50-100 years old anyday over the new production stuff.

Yeah those sh&tty old mausers really are the pits lol. Nice rifle, nice shooting!

Great gun. Looks like an FN deluxe though, the Browning’s has stepped barrels and different checkering with no grip caps no? I have had a couple and they are a bit different than yours. Great gun either way.

There is a lot to like about that fine rifle, I'd be happy with one like that!

Yup, they don't build them like yesteryear. Very nice classic rifle!
