Produced in the Remington Custom Shop, a Premier Grade firearm starts with a full set of fresh components that are then hand-fitted and assembled by a master gunsmith, subjected to engraving and embellishment representing up to two weeks of a skilled engraver's labor, and finished off with a set of top quality hardwood furniture. The barrel is fitted with a ramp bead front sight and a ramp-mounted adjustable rear sight, with the two-line address, patent and caliber markings on the upper left side and a 2 5/8 inch wedge of punch-dot backed scroll engraving on top of the breech. More finely cut scroll engraving is present on the frame, including on the trigger guard and magazine base, with the model markings hand-engraved into the underside and a bust of a bighorn ram on top. Each side shows a sequence of three animals in gold on an engraved background; the left shows (left to right) a bear, a running deer and a ram, and the right shows a mountain goat, a bugling elk and a wildcat atop a rock. The deer scene on the left side has the signature "RPR 75" (Robert P. Runge, 1975) hidden on a rock. Fitted with an extra-fancy checkered walnut pistol grip stock and an extended ebony-tipped forearm, hard rubber Remington grip cap, a "J*H*S*" inscribed initial panel on the underside and a checkered plastic Remington buttplate.

Excellent with 99% plus original blue finish and a few light handling marks overall. A small patch of copper color is present on the underbelly of the running deer. Otherwise, the inlays are all finely executed, and the engraving is sharp and detailed. The wood is excellent with a few light handling marks, sharp checkering, and attractive color and grain. Mechanically excellent.
