CptCurl,

Yep, I recognized it was not a M98, but what I wanted was a .375 H&H in near new condition and at a really good price. I normally am a "M98 snob" and all my other guns are either Arg., FN or Mark X Mausers. But this one seemed worth the risk. Here are the pics of the action:

The seller states the action has no markings on it whatsoever except a Belgium proof mark which is also on the barrel. And the barrel is marked below the rear sight "Made in Belgium". According to online research (always problematical) the gun is FN built, but I know that during this period Browning was using Sako actions on almost all their other light and medium weight rifles, so why not the heavy calibers as well? However, not even the Blue Book addresses this question.
