Thanks guys, there's a bit of a back story to this rifle

Back in the 90's I purchased a brand new FN8 Light Hunter that I loved, but for some insane reason that escapes me now, some time later I sold it to a BBS member and regretted it ever since. I've always had it in mind to replace the rifle with an FN8 or FN12, but mint or fefurbishable examples are rare and get snapped-up fast. So I found this rifle on Guntrader a few weeks back, too far for me to travel, but the dealer was very up front and explained the condition in detail, so I took a punt. Luckily a previous owner had plastered the stock with lacquer, which had protected it and I was able to strip, sand, oil and wax it back to new condition. Shaun has brought the action back better than new and I've topped it with a Sportsmatch one-piece Falcon mount and Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 AO Mil Dot scope. The Best Fittings quick fill has finished the rifle nicely, although I will be on the look out for an original Falcon QF adapter in mint condition.

It's Christmas, so nice to have a story with a happy ending
