FN rifles

[philpot 4,927]

I was in the RFD today and whilst sipping a cup of coffee, I saw an FN2 in .22. Never used one but picked this one up, it felt superb in the shoulder, light, stock fit was perfect, hmmm, now would that do as a ratter as it was cheap. The thing is I know nothing about these guns soooooooo are they any good and what is the shot count like on the .22. 

There must be some of you guys that have had one and give me the low down, I might just swap my T200 rifle for one if they are any good.

Fantastic guns. Very under rated. 

I know of a very well known rapid lad that used falcon barrels on his rapid. They’re very accurate

To be honest Bry, I don't know. It is a well formed sporter stock. The asking price is £285 which seems fair.

That’s the light hunter Phil 

Really good guns 

[philpot 4,927]

What sort of shot count do you get Bry.

 

That looks lovely and very similar to an old Brocock I had. The one in the shop is a sporter, not the light version.

.22 FN12 single shot - they're fantastic rifles Phil

 

Good solid, simple engineering and, as accurate as anything else I own.

 

I fill to 160/170bar and get 40/45 good shots. 

 

Once you get used to it, it's fairly easy to load in the dark.
