The casehardened action displays beautiful full coverage engraving consisting of fine scrollwork and line borders surrounding a pheasant in flight on the right, a pheasant standing on the left, a pair of jack rabbits on the trigger plate, a setter on the underside toward the front of the action, and a pair of pheasants on the trigger guard.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as Remington factory rebarreled, retaining 99% blue on the barrels, strong traces of original case colors in the protected areas with the balance a fine silver, and traces of blue on the trigger guard. The lightly sanded and revarnished stock is also very fine with a few minor marks and worn but well defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
