Bought this awhile ago and completely forgot I had it, just went through the safes and found I have way too many 30-06's. Don't know any history on it, looks like the stock has been refinished at some point. It's pretty dark and looks like an oil rubbed finish to me. Any discoloration on the metal is from oil, metal is in very good condition. Asking $525 plus shipping for the bare rifle. If you want the Talley's and the Leupold vari-xIIc 2-7 add $225. Please make sure your FFL will accept from a private individual.
