Mine is similarly marked though no FTR markings. I think yours wins the beauty contest. Very nice. Love the lumber on the Lithgows.

Tomorrow, after two weeks sick, I wanted to go shoot my loved No.1 MkIII* at 200 meters, but it’s been raining hard for 10 days and the range is a complete swamp…
So… I’ll take the same rifle, but in the trainer version at 25 meters
Just great rifles!
