Description

This bolt action sporting rifle is chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum and is built upon a Mauser 98 style action. The firearm features a 24 inch blued steel barrel equipped with a ramped front sight with a red fiber optic insert and a Tasco 3-9×40 variable power scope mounted on high rings. The polished walnut stock is configured with a Monte Carlo comb, a distinct cheekpiece, and a black rubber recoil pad bearing the Browning name. Key markings include the Firearms International Corp. import or manufacturer stamp on the left side of the barrel, which reads FIREARMS INTERNATIONAL CORP. WASH. D.C. – 7MM MAG. The left side of the receiver is stamped with the serial number S3688, and the barrel shank bears the letter and number combination FI6. The bolt body and handle show a bright finish, while the receiver and barrel retain a deep blued finish. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The metal surfaces show light wear to the bluing on the barrel and receiver with some thinning at the muzzle. The bolt body and handle exhibit visible surface oxidation and light pitting. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The walnut stock remains in good condition with a high-gloss finish, displaying only minor handling marks, light scratches, and small impressions consistent with field use. The Tasco scope shows some light scratches to the exterior body but the optics appear clear. The action appears to function correctly when cycled.
