PROVENANCE: Factory letter confirming specifications, and completion date of Oct 18, 1899. Target showing a 4-shot group centered on bull's eye, with extreme spread of 1-7/8, with load data. CONDITION: Very fine, as partially refinished. Bbls retain approx 95% of a fine re-black, with a few light marks and some thinning. Action retains a considerable amount, possibly as much as 30%, of its orig case hardening color, vivid where protected, but is mostly a pleasing pewter gray. Top lever and floorplate are re-blued, and retain nearly all of that blue. Engraving is still excellent. Stocks retain most of what appears to be their orig rubbed oil finish, with some added oil, as maintenance, with a number of minor marks and light scratches. Checkering is re-cut. Bores are excellent, bright, sharp, and shiny throughout. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are strong and in time. Scope has a few light marks in its exterior lacquer, with two fairly heavy at top right. Optics are brilliant. Case leather is very fine, still light in color, with some rubs. Straps and handle are very fine, as is interior cloth. Labels are very fine, with some light stains. Consignor states rifle shoots exceptionally well. This well balanced rifle is in a highly regarded caliber, nearly equivalent to the .375 H&H, and good for any North American and most African big game up to and including cape buffalo. 4-53687 MGM299
