Yes, it is and not refurbed. Barrel looks good and action is fine. Previous owner says he did not shoot it. I will! lol..

Sweet. Most of the ones I've seen have been Arsenal rebuilds at least once or twice and/or swapped out to .308.
I've read those shoot really nice in 7.5. Looks great.
She's a beaut!! I still regret letting one get away from me 2 decades ago (price was right, but bad timing.)
Luv me some cosmoline!

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” -Samuel Adams
Took it to the range yesterday just to check for function. Only shot at 50 yds but was on paper first shot off bags. Strikes were high but consistent with the 200 meter setting. Need to get an english translation for the manual and then wring it out more. Just a nice shooting rifle and I am very pleased with it.
Did you get the scope dialed-in?Originally Posted by jmikey
If not, I may be able to help. I'm going shooting this weekend with a mate who speaks French, has one of these and is really into all this French stuff.
I'm looking forward to shooting it!

Yes, I did Patria and it is a sweet shooter. I think you will enjoy shooting your mates' rifle. Let us know how it goes. I have still not found an english translation of the manuals.
Very nice man!
In those moments where you're not quite sure if the undead are really dead, dead, don't get all stingy with your bullets.
I finally got to shoot it yesterday and it is a fine rifle indeed! Solid as a tank with a manly slap of recoil and an interesting and fast scope reticule. Oh, and apparently he reads French!
