One of the most striking features of this rifle is its maple stock with basket weave checkering and an ebony foretip, a rare and elegant combination that adds both grip and visual appeal. The craftsmanship in the stock points to this being either a limited production model or potentially a custom or semi-custom build using a FN Mauser-style action, which were widely favored by gunsmiths for their strength and smooth cycling. Rifles like this are often compared to high-grade custom sporting rifles from the likes of Winslow Arms or bespoke Cabela’s offerings. Chambered in .243 Win, the rifle balances mild recoil with flat trajectory and reliable accuracy—making it ideal for everything from varmints to medium game like deer. Whether you're a collector, a hunter, or a shooter with an eye for well-built bolt guns, this FN Sporting Rifle offers heritage, functionality, and classic styling in a time-tested caliber.
