In terms of condition, this firearm shows signs of prior use and handling, but is in good overall shape. The barrel, receiver, scope, and wood stock bear visible scratches, and the bottom rear of the buttstock has been chipped off but repaired.

For your purchase, you will receive the firearm itself complete with a 4 rd mag, Weaver scope lens caps, and a vintage Weaver K3-60B 3x Crosshair Reticle Rifle Scope.

Its low-profile capped windage and elevation turrets and 37ft Field of View (FOV) provide precision and a generous observational range.
The Model 88's .308 Win caliber delivers a potent punch with excellent accuracy over medium distances, making it ideal for hunting and sport shooting.
