If I recall Western Field was the badge name for Montgomery Wards catalog sales. We used to call them "Monkey Wards". Nice rifle.

 

[RogerED]

Yes, you are correct. I worked at MW, KCMO in the sporting goods dept back in the mid 60's and remember seeing this specific model rifle in 308 only - the 270 and 30.06 were FN Supreme actions . . .

RogerD, I’m assuming that was the one near the Trinity River in Fort Worth, TX? I bought a 6” S&W Highway Patrolman there.
Those were very nice rifles as I remember fondling and drooling over one.

 

[RogerED]

Ummm, it was MW's main store and warehouse in Kansas City Mo - I worked for MW about a year before moving on . . . I really, really wanted one but couldn't afford it . . .

Used to see the Heym 308s and FN 270/30.06s Western Fields rifles often, usually beat up - not so much now in any condition.

Hello, do you know if the action was made by Heym?

Hello, do you know if the action was made by Heym?

I don't recall if it's marked (as FN's are) - I will pull it to see if it's stamped. Barrell is marked as you can see and when I researched, found the "720B EHM" was attributed to Heym . . .

If anyone knows for sure, please chime in

 

[RogerED]

Mmmm, action has German proof Mark's, 24" barrell has "FW Heym" stamp & German proof Mark's- I believe it's a Heym through & through.

The barrell shoulder in the action has the traditional model 98 "C" rail cut. Heym has been in business over 150 years according to their website . . .

Probably for the best I was thinking about selling a kidney on the black market or something....
