Globe front sight for interchangeable disks is fitted, as is a Stevens-Vernier with wind adjustments on the tang. CONDITION: Case color on action is brilliant showing some wear just at the edges, while color of lever shows some wear. Buttstock has just the most minor of handling marks and two tiny cracks, almost unnoticeable, where the comb and buttplate come together. Forearm shows just minor handling marks, but there is a chip on the right hand side that is still present. Buttplate has some case color remaining, rest faded. Barrel shows just the minimum of wear. Good action, fine bore. This rifle remains in such wonderful condition that it could never have seen much use. TR
