For Sale FN Supreme Mauser 358 Norma

It has at least two detractions. No sights and that stock.

Fair opinion. But that stock necessitates no sights as a Western US long range power rifle. And the gun is an original mid-century McGowan as evidenced by that sightless barrel and that custom mid-century stock. If it weren't a McGowan and didn't have that stock, it wouldn't be a period-correct vintage gun. (then I might as well sell the action and bottom metal off for about the same price for a custom build?)

I should have said the detractions were from my pov only. Others MMV. It might get better play on Gunbroker.

 

[Witold Krzyżanowski]

Nice rifle in a beautiful caliber.

 

[rookhawk]

Two updates:

The scope is now sold to Mr. Stoppelman.

The rifle is now offered for sale without the scope (but still includes mounts and rings)

And the new price is $1600.

 

[rookhawk]

Reduced to $1450.

 

[Witold Krzyżanowski]

Nice offer.

 

[5shot]

That would be awesome to add to the safe (already have two Whelens in there), but no fun money left.

Good luck.

I am surprised that this is not selling. The action and cartridge are a great match. The swift manual has the 358 Norma but not the 308 Norma, so I assumed the 358 was more popular? Good luck with the sale.

Yeah, I’m surprised Toby458 hasn’t snatched it up yet? I don’t think it was in his list of 214 firearms he had owned in the past? PM him.

Beautiful gun and a great offer. I’ve gotta hold out for a .375 though. Ugh

for $300 you can have it rebored to 375!

Quit it!



You made me stop and think there for a second but I really think it would be a shame to change anything on a really nice vintage rifle like that one.

 

[HarleyDavidson8128]

Is this still available?

 

[rookhawk]

Yes

 

[rookhawk]

Replied to your PMs @HarleyDavidson8128
