Anybody looking for 458 WM?

There's a nice one on gunbroker. Type in 1968 FN Belgium and you should find it. Only a couple hours left but figured I would put it out there since it's cheap. I would buy it but have one already.

I haven't looked at the listing, but a 1968 FN actioned 458 should be a decent rifle. 458 is much abused by gunwriters but it's actually a very good cartridge, particularly when loaded long enough to realize its full potential.

Currently at $895 and got some super pretty wood. Someone is going to get a nice deal

The actions on these are slick.

Yep, nothing wrong with the .458WM

Hey guys,

I just checked it out... it's nice!
Has a beautiful piece of wood on it.
The owner shot prairie dogs with it!

I personally much prefer the pre 1962 models. The later Fabrique Nationale .458 Winchester magnum calibre bolt rifles lacked a bolt guide and were push feed designs ( Not that there is any thing wrong with push feed . How ever , since the pre 1962 version were all control round feed designs ... I personally view this as a step down in quality ) .

Sold for $895. Damn good deal for an FN 458 without salt wood. Even if it's push feed.
