Husky M98 FN Browning in 9,3x62 to .404 Jeffery
15/12/12 08:46 AM

Planning to rebarrel a close to mint condition M98 from FN from 9,3 to .404 Jeffery.

I know it's a big job - but still want to have a M98 with the shorter stroke, better handling etc. Most .404s were std lenght M98 actions too?

I hope You gentlemen have some sound advice for me?

What kind of bottom metal should I go for? Lenghtening the original one will give med 3 catridges, a custom one 4 or 5? What are my alternatives?
I can live with 3 rounds capacity.

I'm a bit confused when it comes to sights - what would you do?

1: Shallow V and silver bead + flip-up "moon bead".
2: Ghost sight and silver bead + flip-up "moon bead".
3: one of the above plus a telescopic sight:
a) German Pivot mount + 1,5-6x42 Zeiss
b) German Pivot mount + VXIII 2,5-8x36
c) Leupold QR + VXIII 2,5-8x36
d) Leupold QR + 1,5-6x42 Zeiss

I'm quite fond of higher magnification as you see...

I'd like the rifle to have a classic english look with cheek piece, a rounded pistolgripend, ebony forend tip, red recoil pad, perhaps no quarterrib only an island for the V shaped backsight. Only want one standing leaf, no folded down leaves..

I'd very much like a easy handling rifle, balanced like a shotgun, and would like it to weigh max 9lbs, preferrably 8,5lbs + scope.

Anything I should be aware of?
