Well anyone who would butcher up a commercial deluxe FN with about the best in period optics should be kept away from classic sporting rifles.

Having grown up in 4 position match shooting nobody shoots with their head up and it has always been one of the most common errors in any type of clays shooting.

You could add drop and raise the cheeckpiece like a Scheutzen rifle but as it sits it is hardly an optimum setup.

The fact that European hunters may have killed driven game from elevated stands with setups like this is hardly like stalking an Elk through the black timber where I live.

As for 2 stage triggers, they are so superior to most of the garbage on today's rifles (except Savage, which in effect is a 2 stage trigger) it's not worth the comment.

I don't hunt off a bench or prone (hard to see over the sagebrush). Most shots are offhand or using any available rest like the limb of a blown down or handy fencepost.

The best hunting rifle (not wannabe snipers) has a lot in common with the best upland shotgun. Not too light, natural swing and followthrough with a low sighting plane.

IMO the best of the bunch (unless you are in the Rigby or H&H price range) is made by a shotgun maker ….. good old Benelli, the R1. Handle like a nice 20 bore upland gun, will hold 1 moa, 4 shots quick and a respectable caliber in the 300 or 338 winmag.

With the right scope, mounted right (low), it just works right. Since it was designed by Europeans, I would venture they have learned a lot since the days of suitcase handle scope mounting.

That a 2/5-10x32 Nightforce in S&K mounts. Scope cost as much as the rifle …… always a good policy.
