Spectacular target rifle made from 1896 to the 1930s. The very heavy barrel is marked "J. STEVENS A&T. CO. / CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS U.S.A." on the right top flat and "22.L.R." on the left. The serial number is just ahead of forearm. It has globe front sight and a windage Vernier tang sight. This rifle was made without a rear sight seat. It has the 44 1/2 action and the receiver has nicely engraved side panels with a small spot of matching engraving behind hammer. Lever is the full loop type with Schuetzen style double set triggers. Mounted with very nicely figured American walnut, checkered Schnabel forearm and Schuetzen style buttstock with checkered pistol grip, and deep cheekpiece with perch belly and a Schuetzen style iron buttplate.

Excellent, all matching including wood and buttplate. Barrel retains about 95% plus original blue with a some thinning on the bottom of round portion. There are handing marks and some minor dings in the octagonal section. Tang sight missing a small piece of its inside mechanism. Receiver retains 90% of its original case colors, thinning but strong and bright on sides and sheltered areas. Lever has faded to gray but has vivid case colors in sheltered areas. Wood is excellent as professionally restored with very minor handling and storage marks. Mechanics are excellent.
