Description:

Beaded blade front and automatic flip up rear notch sights on the matte rib with claw style scope bases, Hensoldt DIASTA 4x32 scope, a partial Simson marker's mark, 3 inch chambers with single extractor, improved modified/full chokes, standard German commercial proofs on the flats, and a "5/60" proof date. The vibrantly casehardened receiver has flourishes of light scroll engraving, dual triggers, cocking indicators, Greener side safety, and tang mounted selector switch. Checkered forearm and buttstock with a raised cheekpiece and leather faced recoil pad. Stock measurements are: 1 7/8 inch drop at comb; 2 7/8 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally/retailer partially refinished. 98% of the blue finish remains with a very subtle but visible wave in the polishing, and a partially obscured maker's mark on the rib from the retailer added scope bases. The receiver has 90% original vibrant case colors with some light traces of high point wear. The wood is excellent with sharp checkering, tight fit, sharp edges, and some small dings. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent.
