Circa 1985 per AN date code. Monobloc barrels with brass bead front sight on a raised sweated-on island, a quarter rib at rear with claw scope mounts and a fixed rear sight. Rib partially matted around front sight and at quarter rib. Sling stud on base screwed onto underside of rib. Underside of barrels with Italian nitro proofs, barrel flats with P&V logo and serial number. Flat bottom splinter forearm checkered in point pattern around Deely latch release. Interior iron with matching serial number. Case colored scalloped back boxlock action with lined borders and floral dressed hinge pins. Action flats with P&V logo, serial number, and Italian proofs. Double triggers protected by a trigger guard with a long tang. Non-automatic safety with "SICURA" engraved ahead of slide. Lightly fiddlebacked and largely straight grained walnut stock is built with sidepanels, pistol grip, point pattern checkering about the wrist, shadowline cheekpiece, and sling stud on toe line. Soft Decelerator recoil pad. Housed in a canvas wrapped case with compartments for gun when broken apart, Leupold glass (Vari-X III 1.5-5 SFP with duplex reticle), spare recoil pad, keys, and sling bows. CONDITION: Very good, barrels retain the vast majority of their finish with some minor scattered handling marks, some to silver, and some thinning to edges. There is a weep hole ahead of the forearm lump, but distension about some of proofs would indicate that the gun is not refinished. Rear sight a replacement. Forearm iron refinished and pluming. Stocks are very good with some handling marks and impressions, primarily on the left side, and heavy scratching on right. Recoil pad a replacement, slightly oversize. Case colors excellent with some silvering to sharp edges. Mechanically fine, bores very good with some soft frosting. Case very good with some rubs through from age. Glass clear. A great utilitarian rifle.
