New to me FN 49

[boxer90]

The recoil on that 8mm is wonderful.
The 30-06 is very hard to find......

I have seen one 30-06 rifle for sale, a couple of years ago. The guy wouldn't come off of his price of $1600 though. Only one I've ever seen in person.

I could of bought a Luxembourg 30-06 for $600 I passed, but I did buy a mint Venezuelan one, even offered it for sale here several times with no interest.

I have not seen an FN49 in 30-06 for 20 years, except for the 2 in my safe downstairs, an AL from Luxembourg and a minty Columbian crested version.
