PROVENANCE: Consignors notes. CONDITION: Exceptionally fine, near new, with only the slightest of light handling marks in metal finishes. Stocks have a few light spots along with some minor knocks and dings in their orig finish. Bores are excellent. Mechanically crisp. Rifle appears essentially unfired since proof. Case canvas is slightly faded. Straps and handle are good. Interior cloth is fine, with some cuts and rubs mostly from contact with sights. Accessories are fine. This rifle handles and balances exceptionally well, at just the right carrying weight. 49183-27 MGM25 (20,000-40,000) – Lot 2235
