I like scout rifles, this is a economical (AKA cheap) one I built up years ago from a 90 dollar buy. FN K-98 the Israelis had rebarreled to 7.62 NATO back in the 1960s. I shoot cast boolits almost exclusively, and it is very accurate with such.

The MN 7.62x54 at link was a $25.00 pickup, it came pre-bubbarized, so just slapped a cheek piece, scout mount and scope on and left be. It too is accurate with cast boolits and makes for a great knockabout truck gun.
Sir, welcome to Free Republic!
That is a fine site and I need to study it a little. Well done.
Got a chance to look and that is some nice shade tree ‘smithin’. Have a similar Swede that works very well, except I can put it back how I found it.
Good for you!
