It’s a Tompkins front sight. Removable.Is the front sight removable?
There are zero markings on the barrel so I have no idea who the smith was, and it isn't factory. Are there any other specific photo's I should post?Any markings on the barrel like the smith or anything factory, need more pictures
My guess (and I’m usually wrong LOL) is it’s an across the course position high power match rifle from the days when 308 ruled the game. Probably originally set up for iron sights (no scopes allowed back then for high power) and scoped later.Excuse my lack of knowledge - what type of competition is the rifle set up for? Is there a rail on the underside of the stock?
Stock looks to have a decent amount of material for offhand support, so this doesn't seem to be set up for pure f class.
Way cool rifle. Pretty tempting!
It’s a nice looking old rifle I can’t believe it hasn’t sold alreadyIt did not. I just haven't bumped the Ad in some time as I'm thinking about posting on an auction site.
Pretty close, I'd say, but because it has no DBM, and it is not clip slotted, it would have been only a prone rig, not XC.My guess (and I’m usually wrong LOL) is it’s an across the course position high power match rifle from the days when 308 ruled the game.

I wonder if it has a rail for a handstop.
