Freedom Arms 97 .41

Not mine. Just seems like a really good deal especially with the octagon bbl, Leupold 2x, black micarta grips, action job, overtravel stop, etc.

That is a good deal. The FA titanium mounts are very expensive. The rings on this gun are likely off eBay and sold for $100-200 I think? A bit lighter I assume, but excessively high rings considering there are no factory iron sights to utilize the see through rings.

Buy the gun, swap out the scope mount and pocket the difference. Trim the barrel and it'd be tough to beat as a hunting rig.

There weren't many of those mounts made and were about $600 when they did. It is odd to use them on a gun with no front sight. The mount has a rear sight built in with interchangeable rear blades. I have bought guns from that seller before. Nice guy.

No idea if it's factory or one of these, or if the factory sent out some 97s with the same mount and these are surplus? I'd be curious the back story on it all. The two eBay sets went for $150 and $200. I forgot about the first auction then the second mount was listed at $200 so I passed (it sold as well).

Anyone know what FA charges to put on a front sight base? I looked but didn't see it listed...
