I bought this rifle from a Remington collector and tld it was unfired, which appears to be the case as I can find no trace of carbon. It did have anel cheapo mount attached and there is just a bit of residue where I removed it. These older Remy actions are excellent and I intended to use it to build a 7 PRC but decided to go another way. $1025 to your FFL, if it needs to be shipped from my FFL $25 extra. Open to reasonable offers and trades. Black case IS NOT included
