The triggerguard and magazine floorplate show matching engraving and gold inlay with a highly detailed roaring lion bust at the center. The engraving is signed on the floorplate "Scalese" for American Master Engraver Diane Scalese. The rifle is mounted in a gorgeously figured and fancy fleur-de-lis checkered pistol grip stock with ebony forend tip, ebony grip cap, shadowline cheekpiece, rear sling stud, and a Decelerator recoil pad. Included with the rifle is a load data sheet, an extra casehardened magazine, and a Kilimanjaro branded Pelican 1750 case.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue, gold, and casehardened finishes with only minor handling evidence. There is a stress line at the rear of the upper tang; otherwise, the wood is excellent with minimal handling evidence and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
