Nice. I shoot slow-fire better with mine than anything else I've tried.

I have the European version, the FN International 150 with the 150mm long barrel to be legal in UIT matches. I have the European hardcase with the blue interior for it, too. The FN150 was very widely used in the German DSB disciplines and was probably the second most popular rimfire pistol after the Hammerli International.

Great guns, fits my hand like a glove. Got mine about 15 years ago. Paid $750 for it with the case and all accessories. It is one I will keep until my dirt nap!!

These are really great shooters. I have one also. Like yours, mine has the weights, box, etc. Here's a twist: mine has left handed stocks! Mine look exactly like your except the thumb rest is on the right side. Wonder how many left handed were made......

Not sure but the grips for Lefties were probably special order. They are still available.
