I may have made a deal on it. Will be worth it for the action alone to me I think.

Seller says a cast was made and a few fired rounds, so ??? I will try to get those as well if the deal happens.

...............so aside from a trim and handy rifle of more than adequate hunting performance, what does a simplistic, excessive compulsive pragmatism such as myself, do with such a rifle ???
While the plains of Wyoming are not conducive to a iron sighted light medium, I would think any future hunts east or south for hogs or deer in the riverine would be rather entertaining with a rifle such as this. Besides this purchase would still allow a "need" for a scope 6.5 or such to procure later

........I have had a bit of a rekindling of the "Fraser" bug of late and found this while looking at/for pre-98 mauser actions. The thinking was that I would re-create a "Fraser" of my own, not having the means, nor would I spend that, had I the means to procure a proper Daniel Fraser bolt action. Conversation leads me to me to think it is a bit nicer in hand than the photographer has captured. The simple childish joy of some new oiled wood and engraving "8x51mm" at the chamber is not lost on me.

Now all of this dwaddle said, would you pursue this or contact someplace like Simpsons LTD and merely pick up a useable mdl 46 for not much more ?????
