looking for info on rifle

[dsipp]

I am trying to find more information on my dad's 7mm mag and cannot find anything. it says A. D. Heller inc. Baldwin NY on the left side, Alpine Supreme on top right under the scope and Firearms Co. England on the right side, it's a bolt action no model number but it has a number that says mag-25677. It's a very nice rifle and I want to know more about it. it's taken down a lot of deer and antelope for me, one antelope was at almost 600 yards. any info would be very appreciated.

I did a Google seach for "Firearms Co. England" and found this on Yahoo :

Your rifle was manufactured by The Firearms Co. Ltd. of Bridgwater, England. They have been making the Alpine Mauser-action sporting rifle since about 1965. Rifles came with a plastic-finished wood stock in 243 Winchester, 270 Winchester, 30-06 or 308 Winchester. Rifles weighed about 7.5 pounds and had a five round magazine. Barrels were 24 inches and the sights were a hooded ramped blade and an adjustable Williams ramp. The K98k actions for Alpine rifles were originally refurbished war surplus, but later they were purchased from Belgium (FN) and Spain (Santa Barbara)."
In good shape it is worth about $300.00.
