This deluxe takedown Model 61 features a full round barrel, sporting sight, two-thirds tubular loading magazine, factory grooved for scope, blued finish, checkered steel buttplate, deluxe checkered walnut forend, and pistol grip checkered walnut stock with deluxe walnut. CONDITION: Barrel has sharp legends and retains 98% original factory blue. There is high edge slide wear. Frame retains 90% original finish with high edge wear, some handling marks, and some age freckles. Wood is very good to excellent, proud to metal, with sharp checkering and numerous bumps and bruises. This gun has obviously seen some field use. With a little bit of time working out the stock bruises, this would be a very handsome rifle rarely seen in the deluxe version.
