Description:

Produced by a gunsmith named "EVANS" (not positively identified) using a Sako Magnum Finnbear receiver and a 375 H&H magnum barrel. Fitted with a blade front sight with flip-up high visibility bead and a three leaf (all folding) express rear sight with gold highlight wires installed on a quarter rib on the part round, part octagon barrel with fine interweaving line gold wire accents, inlaid fleur-de-lis pattern borders, and panels of punch dot backed scrollwork on the upper flats, the quarter rib and around the breech. Further scrollwork and gold borders are present on the receiver, floor plate and trigger guard, with a golden hippopotamus in a river on the left side of the receiver ring, a rhinoceros on the opposite side, and a lion on the floor plate. A Leupold M8 3x scope is mounted to the receiver with a pair of Sako/Finland-marked rings that are gold inlaid to match the pattern on the sides of the front sight base. The "EVANS" marking is present on the trigger guard concealed by the floor plate. Fitted with an extra fancy English walnut fleur-de-lis checkered pistol grip stock with a contrasting hardwood tip, checkered steel grip cap, raised right handed comb and shadow-line cheekpiece and a checkered steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good as professionally engraved/embellished with 95% plus blue finish showing a plum tone to the upper area of the receiver, minor oxidization where the breech and bolt handle contact the stock, mild handling marks and light edge wear. Mechanically needs adjustment. Scope optics are clear with a few light scratches on the exterior. The stock is very good with some signs of fresh varnish, mild dings, and fine checkering and grain overall.
