CONDITION: Very good overall with 85-90% original blue on barrel with scattered corrosion overall. Receiver a grey/brown patina overall. Stock is cracked at the wrist with an old repair. Missing rear barrel sight. Bore is excellent. Missing palm rest. Overall an attractive example of a rare Remington target rifle. -MKS-
