Re: FN98 Stutzen .300 H+H Mag with Bubinga Stock

Quote:

That is a truly excellent rifle. An Afro-stutzen if you will. .300 H&H to avoid military calibre trouble and achieve slightly better brush shooting performance with heavier bullets. Ivory inlay to bring focus and contrast to the black trigger guard and engraved floorplate, possibly influenced by Arabic or African folk (bubba) gun art. Bubinga to keep in the Africa theme plus moderate the recoil a bit, which is evidently an issue vis a vis the rubber recoil pad. Yet overall heavy Germanic flavor of the stock. Even the absence of checkering seems intentional as the stock would then look quite busy. A specific rifle built by a specific person for a specific purpose in a specific era, and very well executed.

Excellent.




Indeed.
