My LRE is 70xx and was made in the fall of 1985. I believe you have a Saddle rifle model sans the cheek piece. I have one near like it from 1987 time period 79xx 26" std oct barrel in 40-70-2.1" BN. They really had nice wood back then. Your butt plate matches the one on my LRE. My Saddle gun has Shiloh on the receiver and barrel as well as the Ol Reliable tm. Mine shoots well so will yours. goodluck MB
