serial #G63112, 375 H&H Magnum, 24'' ported round barrel with a bright excellent bore. This lovely rifle has been embellished by master engraver Ken W. Warren with the action and bottom metal engraved in full coverage with nice deep relief flowing foliate scrollwork and matted background shading. The engraving is finished in a smooth medium gray, nicely contrasting with the blue, and foliate scroll continues onto the barrel shank, around rear sight, swivel attachments and muzzle. The magnum crossbolts and bolt knob are floral engraved as well and there are just a few tasteful gold accent lines here and there. The floorplate features a handsome lion vignette while the bow of the guard has the initials ''DW'' inlaid in gold and the work is signed along the rear edge of the bottom metal ''K.W. WARREN''. The bolt body remains bright and is nicely jeweled and the remaining metal surfaces retain about 98% quality commercial blue showing a bit of subtle thinning in a few spots along the bottom metal. The rifle has been restocked in classic style in a very fine grade of walnut featuring fleur-de-lis checkering, contrasting rosewood tip, graceful left-side shadowline cheekpiece and steel pistolgrip cap that shows a little thinning to gray-brown patina. The stock rates excellent and exhibits wonderful grain figure throughout. Length-of-pull to the quality leather-covered pad is 14 1/2''. The rifle is equipped with a set of Leopold rings and bases that show the same quality embellishments as the rifle and the rings hold a Leopold Vari-X III 1.5x5 riflescope in excellent condition with duplex reticle. The rifle is also sighted with the proper three-leaf express rear sight and a silver bead front sight on ramp, without hood. A beautiful custom Model 70 in the popular and respected 375 H&H.
