Overview
This bolt-action rifle is chambered in .243 Winchester and set up with a Nikko Stirling Mountmaster 3-9x40 AO scope, making it a practical option for hunting or range work where adjustable magnification is useful. The black synthetic stock with textured grip panels gives it a straightforward, no-frills layout, while the included original box and papers add to its completeness. It is a used rifle with visible field wear, including scratches on the stock and surface rust and pitting on the barrel and metal surfaces, so it is best suited to buyers comfortable with a shooter-grade firearm that may need cleaning and rust remediation. For hunters looking for a functional .243 platform rather than a pristine collectible, this one offers a ready-to-transfer setup with scope and rings already mounted.

- The barrel and metal surfaces show surface rust and pitting in spots, which may require cleaning or rust remediation before regular use.
- The included scope and rings appear functional, but they also show typical handling marks and should be inspected as part of any setup.
- An FFL transfer is required, and the rifle is sold as-is, so review all photos and details carefully before purchase.
