I’d appreciate any opinions about the wood finish and bluing on this rifle. The wood still looks proud to me but I’m a complete novice. I think you can swipe the pictures left and right, there’s 5 or 6 pictures.

Thanks

Your 95 appears to be in pretty nice condition with even wear to the blue and wood finish. It is early enough to be in factory records, it looks like a standard rifle with Lyman model 21 sight that may have been factory installed.

Are there two platinum range dots on the M21 elevation scale?

No platinum dots, but it looks like someone used a punch to make two witness marks.

So you think the wood finish and blueing is factory?

30 US

i haven’t received it yet but the rest of the pictures online show a good bore an nothing altered so I’m pretty happy with the purchase. Especially since I’ve seen those Lyman’s selling for around $600 now.
