Under FRONT scope base, might even say byf on the receiver. Looks like a unstepped barrel so it might either be commercial or rebarreled in 06.
My first guess was a 70s or 80s Interarms Mauser in .308 with the engraving covered up by a changed out stock.
But I defer to Threeband and the others who can see things two counties away. (Wish I had them eyes...)
I picked up a beautiful 1980s Interarms Mauser in .308 years ago, but sold it that same year to finance an AR.
Should have kept it! It was mint.
Lick your eyebrows, flick your hair and say something to the nice lady about infringement...you'll score big.Now, $200 won’t get you that rifle and it won’t even get ya laid, LOL...
80s Old Town, good times.
`Interarms was cool, and MYSTERIOUS.
And great bars right down the street to pick up hot Defense contractor chicks.
I didn't see any marks, maybe I just don't know where to look.
Remove the stock and the information is under the barrel.
The bolt shroud is the military style. That's probably a FN commercial action from before FN switched to the streamlined bolt shroud with no safety and put the safety on the trigger around 1950 or so ( I don't have the exact date they switched). Post WWII, late 40's commercial FN used by Husqvarna, Herters, Browning, BSA, Sears, and a cornucopia of other brands. American gunsmiths and custom builders bought them in large numbers too. The real reason FN became profitable after the war. Nice little fairy tales about US Servicemen and Cigarettes not withstanding, FN actilons were in demand and highly profitable for the company to get back on its feet.
I have seen the exact marking on a Sears JC Higgins Model 50 30-06 Commercial FN Mauser.
