Manufactured in Japan between 1972 and 1974. The tapered medium weight barrel was manufactured without sights, and the caliber marking is on the left side of the barrel near the breech. The standard model and makers markings are on the left side of the action. The bolt is polished and fluted with a smooth round knob handle. The top of the action has been drilled and tapped for scope mounting with filler screws in place. Mounted on a skip-line checkered pistol grip stock with contrasting forend and grip caps, a white diamond shaped inlay in the grip cap, sling swivel studs, and a ventilated factory recoil pad.

Excellent with 99% original blue finish and only light scattered handling marks. The wood is excellent with light general handling marks, attractive grain and some nice figuring. Mechanically excellent.
