WTS OR J.C. Higgins FN 98 Mauser 30-06

[BanjoGeek]

These Mausers were FN made and imported into the U.S. and sold under the name of J.C. Higgins in the mid-50's. Best buy on the market at the time. Still a great piece and a great action. This one shows the use but is still as solid as they come and even has a J.C. Higgins brand scope. Nice piece of wood but a rather crudely added recoil pad. At any rate, a good piece for refinishing or using it like it is. Asking $375 and not really into trading as it simply drives the cost up but it never hurts to try. I am in Lebanon and willing to travel from Eugene to Keizer for a serious buyer. All legal fees on the buyer. Best to contact me by PM or 541-401-1063, I don't text. I can send more pictures if needed.

This is a much better rifle than the current crop of plastic offered in stores today.

For 375$ he is pretty much giving it away. I don't need a 4th 30-06 or this would be marked sold.

That's me, I am knee deep in 30-06's. I just need them to go to a new home and this one is exactly what it was made for, shooting and hunting. No BS and no tricks just a hard working honest piece. Thanx for the good vibes. I just kinda got this stuff priced according to what I am into them for.

Thanks for your reply. I only wanted to encourage a buyer. I no longer hunt but still own a rifle for that purpose.

I can't believe this is still here. Great deal on an excellent rifle.

I have the .270 version and can say that nobody would be disappointed with this FN 98 action.

My advice to the person who acquires this fine rifle is to install the Timney trigger with the side safety switch along with the replacement bolt shroud since you've eliminated the rear bolt safety lever.
I should have gone in this direction with my model 50, as I just can't get used to that hard to use rear bolt lever underneath the scope.

 

[BanjoGeek]

Thank you Phantom Man, I agree without reservation.
