PJgunner, I used to get the rifles for about $150. The price is still about the same if I can find them. Sometimes they aren't Sears, but other brands, and well used and have a FN SUpreme action with the proof marks going all along the left side of the barrel. Some people don't know what that means. The last one of that type is currently being made into a custom .257 Weatherby for my son. A wonderful action.

IIRC, Colt used FN actions for some rifles back in the early 1960s. Husqvarna used FN actions as well and they are superb. I have one in 30-06 and they really slicked hem up. it's so much smoother than the Higgins and even slicker than the two 1951 commercial FNs I have which are pretty darn slick.

Husqvarna

I picked up a Husky in 6mm-.284 that sat on the used gun rack of a local gun shop for a year. It was an FN and I bought it for $75.00. It now wears a Douglas #3 barrel in .280 Remington. All the best...
