The included vintage Bushnell Banner II scope only adds to its value, making it an exceptional find for any serious collector or hunter.
This Model 70 is in good condition, with some signs of prior use and handling that add to its character. The left side of the stock by the receiver is heavily fractured and missing a chunk, and there are various dents and dings visible on the wood. The barrel and action have been reblued a long time ago, and the bluing has worn into a beautiful patina. The scope base shows minor rust, but the bore is super bright and mirror-like, with excellent sharp lands and grooves. This rifle is sold with a diamond-checkered walnut wood stock, a rubber recoil pad, and a vintage Bushnell Banner II 3-9 scope.
