We can't remember the name of this Kersten Patent falling block action, but for lack of better words we'll call it a bank vault action because that's what it's built like. Equipped with see-through claw mounted Hensoldt Wetzlar low power heavy 3 plex reticle scope. The buttstock has nicely figured European walnut with cheekpiece, and beavertail forestock is plain in comparison with a much finer and worn checking pattern. Both have been on the piece for a long time. Forend fastener is a large recessed allen screw.
Bores are fine.
This piece in scarce caliber has been fired but is like new with box. Bases and rings included. Has dark tiger tail wood. This pre-64 super scarce piece built in 1959 is the jewel of the Model 88's. 3 small digs near muzzle and post-64 mag.
