Husqvarna Finnbear 270 Winchester caliber on the pre 1972 L61R long action. Made by famous Husqvarna Corp. Finland. As new with detachable peep sight and scope mounts. These original accessories constitute about a $150 value. This is one of the smoothest and best actions made and have been a favorite of custom rifle makers for decades. Husqvarna barrels are cold forged and are extremely accurate. Also included is a shaped and inletted stock by custom rifle maker Keith Stiegel, Gunnison, CO using the finest genuine straight grain French walnut Keith could find. Unfortunately it has a repairable nonstructural flaw which did not meet his standards. ---- $1100 (pics)
ItalianF. LLI RIZZINI, Magno, V.T., Italy -20ga Boxlock Ejector with single nonselective trigger and 26” barrels bored IC & modified. This gun appears to be new unfired in the original case. F.Ili Rizzini now makes only 11 guns a year on special order but early on several hundred of these guns were made for importers Abercrombie & Fitch with Zoli exporter. Mechanically this is the same gun as the currently made R2E (MSRP $25,000) but lacks the cosmetics of high grade wood and engraving found on the R2. It is almost impossible to describe the smoothness of operation. The stock features a Prince of Wales grip and small field type beaver tail fore-end. This delightful little upland game gun weighs only 5 pounds 14 oz and has dimensions of: LOP = 14” over a half inch pad, D@H = 2 ½” and D@C = 1 ½”. -____ $2450 (pics)
