The rifle is in very good condition, with minor handling marks and two small scratches on the left side of the receiver (see pics). I purchased the rifle used (no box or papers) so the round count is unknown but appears to be very low- I took the 45-70 to the range once, fired a couple of dozen rounds through it, and put it in the safe. I will also include a Williams FP-1885 receiver sight with the rifle. The Browning is located in Madison, WI and I will drive a reasonable distance for a FTF. Thanks, Tom Esswein

Great minds must think alike The beatings will continue until morale improves
