The breech end of the barrel is stamped 17 HMR while the top of the barrel bears the STURM, RUGER & CO., INC. SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A. manufacturer and location address. This rifle comes equipped with a Swift brand variable-power scope featuring a duplex reticle, secured to the integral receiver mounts by blued Ruger-style rings. A single black polymer detachable rotary magazine and a set of connected rubber lens covers are included. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The blued finish on the barrel and receiver remains in good condition, showing a high percentage of original coverage with minimal thinning or wear. The checkered walnut stock is in good overall condition, though it exhibits several light surface scratches and small dings, most notably on the left side of the forend and near the grip area. The rubber buttpad and grip cap are well-preserved. The bore is not visible in the provided images, but the external condition suggests light use. The bolt action appears to function smoothly and the trigger pull is crisp, although the rifle has not been function-tested. The Swift scope features clear optics and an intact duplex reticle.
