.284" F-Open Rifle & Kit

[Blue Haze]

Reluctantly I offer for sale a ready to go f-open rig including all the trimmings if needed. After a change of work, I have been unable to find the time to give the sport the dedication it demands at the higher levels. As such, almost everything below is offered in mint or nearly new condition:

I'm afraid the scope has already been sold last week through word of mouth, along with the rings. It'll be back on the GBFCA lines with its new owner next year 😊
