Folks,
My first posting - hope I get it mostly right.
I have an FN in .30-06 caliber, and know nearly nothing of its history. Hoping you all might give me some schooling.
It's marked Cal .30-06 on the left side of the barrel, and FIC on the right side.
Under the stock on the receiver it has the FN oval, and "Made in Belgium" on the right, and a set of proof marks on the left.
Any hints about its age? I would normally expect FN to be putting fancier finish and at least checkering on the wood.
Pictures of it are posted here:

Thanks lots for anything you can tell me.
