Description:

Built around a Model 98 action, with a ramp blade front sight and bolt mounted peep rear sight. A small portion of the barrel has a machined flat for scope clearance, with the London address, various crown / letter proofs and a nitro proof. Equipped with a Weaver 29S telescopic scope. Checkered round knob pistol grip stock with single sling swivel, leather sling and thick serrated horn buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 80% of the blue finish, showing a gray patina on the floor plate, bolt handle and high edges and streaks of gray at the muzzle, along with some minor spotting and pitting on the receiver and bolt release. Stock is good as repaired and revarnished, with mended chips at the upper tang, minor scratches and dings. Optics are slightly hazy, with mild wear on the tube. Mechanically excellent.
