buckstix:

Those are awesome rifles. Very nice one you have there!

Yes, FN actions.

Couple things:

On the 146 & 246 guns (old Huskys generally) check for bedding. Some of these bottom out the guard screws and set back in the stock. Not uncommon to see cracks at the tang. Yours looks good but the lack of a crack doesn't mean it won't. Also, hidden from view from the top, pull the action out and look for cracks in the recoil seat and web between magazine and trigger. If the bedding bottoms on the stock ferrules you can shorten them of get rid of them as I've done and I believe Daryl has also. You have to look for bottoming of the action w/ bottom metal, too (I had that issue also)b Epoxy bedded is an option.

Also, you may find groove diameter to be on the high side. I had a couple 146's and the groove depth was .369 & from memory I think Daryl's 46 was .370. Mine shot very well, but in drawing lead core bullets from .375 down I just mated them to the groove diameter or .001" under and didn't go all the way down to .366. Prvi 285 9.3/.366" shot just fine anyhow.

Congrats, they are nice rifles and yours looks set up well w/ the aperture sight.
