This Medallion-grade A-Bolt showcases a bright-silver tone receiver with factory floral scroll engraving on the side flats and on the floorplate. The left receiver flat is marked "MEDALLION," adding clear model identification. The barrel wears a classic blued finish, creating a refined contrast with the receiver.
Built in 1987 by Miroku in Japan, this example represents the original A-Bolt configuration that preceded the A-Bolt II. It uses a 60-degree, three-lug, anti-bind bolt designed for smooth cycling and scope clearance, paired with a top-tang safety for intuitive operation.
The rifle is chambered in .270 Win with a 22-inch barrel marked "A BOLT CALIBER .270 WIN ONLY." It feeds from a detachable box magazine concealed by a hinged floorplate with a push-button release, maintaining clean lines while allowing quick unloading.
The checkered walnut pistol-grip stock provides a 13.5-inch length of pull and includes a rubber buttplate and sling swivel studs. The rifle has no iron sights and comes with scope mounts installed, ready for the buyer’s choice of optic. An "NP" stamp appears near the barrel shank.
