[QUOTE="RB II, post: 2692866, member: 124418"] My Dad bought a Fabrique Nationale in .270 about 40 years ago at a police auction in Houston. (yes they used to have those) He said he had seen one in Austria when he was overseas in the post WWII period. IMO, it is the most balanced and smoothest rifle I have ever handled, and that has been quite a few over the years. Also the stock is something amazing to see. Very beautiful wood and some very intricate checkering and engraving. Shoots most factory 130 grain ammo to about 3/4". Certainly not a new race horse caliber in a titanium chassis, but very much old school cool factory production rifle. The FN is in my gun safe, dressed exactly as he had it, and likely will be there when I am gone. I take it out now and then to the deer woods and kill something, my Dad would be proud. I always had to sight his rifle, he hated target shooting, but we hunted over 25 years together in the Trans-Pecos in a high rack truck after mulies and I never saw him miss a deer. [/QUOTE]
