Take a look under the rear scope base. Is there a clip guide there? The clip guide only appears on the military FN's. It is possible to find commerical German Mausers with a clip guide, but this is a FN rifle.

It is a commercial FN Supreme rifle. The barrel should have the date of production on the left side at the receiver. Factory made rifle.

Musketshooter is dead-on right! FN Supreme all the way and one of the finest rifles a man could own. Notice the nice fine checkering, the recoil cross bolt and the unique barrel contour. For the Mauser connoisseur, the FN Supreme and Brno are as good as it gets. Looks like a nice vintage Weaver on it too.

In the 1950's I think Sears and Western Auto carried the standard grade FN's for stupid cheap money. Lots of guys thought they were surplus rifles and they were not. Real keepers, but not seen much anymore.

What should a rifle like that should be valued at? Assuming its not shot out. Thank You .

The FN's do have a following. Selling depends on condition. I would guess the Sears/Western Auto rifles would be sold at around $400.00. Depends on where you are selling, as well. It think most are in .30-'06 cal. and there are lots of rifles in that caliber. The FN pictured would go for much more money.
