This pre 64 surprised me....

At what it brought for its condition. I realize that it's a super grade and all, but wow. It's sure going to take some $$ to get it back into good condition, and it'll still be a re done rifle.

Pre 64 Model 70 in .375 H&H with multi-leaf rear site. It's a classic and carries a lot of nostalgia. I wouldn't give that much for that condition, but others will.

The original owner or owners ought to have their * kicked for neglect. There's no reason to let a gun get in that condition.

Looks well used to me. Take a Valium.

Not sure that's abuse but maybe just a lot of hunting in its 65 years. It would be nice to know its history. Africa plains rifle??

Locust Fork

Imagine what a really decent set of pictures would have done for that listing.

I was thinking maybe a lot of hard use and miles in a boat in Alaska.

I wish I had a rifle I made look like that. Think of all the fun you would have had.

I do not understand the concern. Unless a lot of bad conditions are hidden I would buy it in a minute. Rifles are not bought to be safe queens.
