Description:
TRULY FABULOUS CONDITION SCHUETZEN RIFLE BUILT ON THE TRADITIONAL AYDT GERMAN FALLING BLOCK ACTION, WITH DIES, BRASS ETC., mounted with a period Weaver 2.5X steel scope USING THE ORIGINAL GROOVED MATTED RIB MADE FOR WEAVER STYLE SCOPE MOUNTING (i.e., NOT DRILLED OR ALTERED FOR SCOPE USE)! Caliber is the usual 8.15 X 46R (included are two letters from the NRA dated 1975 giving info. on loading etc. for this caliber), included is a set of RCBS dies, loaded ammo and a load of cast bullets, brass is easily made from .30-30 cases shortened and run into the die, an amazing example of the gunsmith's art, this rifle has features that would cost thousands to include IF you could even find anyone capable of making the parts and installing them! The lower tang has a lever behind the double set triggers and fancy trigger guard/lever that when turned allows the entire lower tang with triggers to be removed for cleaning! The forend is held on by a wedge and A LEVER ON THE UNDERSIDE forward of the receiver (as shown in bottom photo), beautifully checkered wrist and forearm with thumb rest, schuetzen cheek rest with decorative rollover, Swiss/schuetzen butt plate, schnable forend tip, 31" octagon barrel with matted top, breech block marked "SYSTEM REFORM" and action is lightly border engraved, right side of barrel marked "Anton Freiberger" and the left side "Augsburg" (Germany's third oldest city) , exc. barrel blue, beautiful vivid case colors on the action and butt plate, bottom of the lever colors are more faded but good, sharp checkering, exc. wood, original sling swivels, ramped front sight with pinhead protected by "wings" on each side, tang has the original case colored base for a square shafted tang sight (which is not included, but would be easy to have made or found from a sight dealer), exc. bore, tight action, weighs about 13 1/4 lbs. I can't even imagine what a rifle like this would cost today to have built!
