FN Mauser .240 Wby
DORLEAC CUSTOM
Rifles
Category : C
Caliber : .240 Weatherby Magnum
Built on the basis of an excellent civilian FN Mauser produced at Herstal in the late fifties this custom rifle is chambered for the worlds fastest commercially available 6mm cartridge, the accurate .240 Weatherby Magnum.
We kept the original system that was meticulously blueprinted.
The FN trigger gave way to a 30 ounces let off single stage high quality Recknagel and the safety is now a three-position side swing one. This conversion allows the low mounting of the scope while retaining the security of a locked firing pin.
The 26" barrel is a match quality Lothar Walther turned to our own profile while we have cut the chamber to minimum CIP headspace.
The tube is engraved by hand of our mark, caliber and sports the marks of the proof certificate n° 0027997797
The original stock, made of beautiful French walnut, benefited from full bedding, new recoil block and a set of quick detachable swivels. The LOP remains at 14" measured on the thin red rubber butt pad.
This rifle is fitted with a ZEISS Conquest V4 4-16×44 [info] scope on a special mount combining a Redfield JR base with 20MOA wedge and 30mm Leupold rings.
This rifle, extremely accurate, weighs 10lbs–2oz with the ZEISS mounted.
It works perfectly, shoots remarkably well and bears our full guarantee.
