Scope, safety, and condition notes

The mounted Bushnell Banner II 1.5-4x has clear glass and a crisp reticle; magnification is currently fixed at 4x because the magnification knob did not move during inspection and was not forced. The owner also had the safety modified to work with the scope as mounted. The scope mount covers the top-of-receiver markings, so manufacturer/date were not determined without removing the mount. Serial numbers on the barrel, receiver, and floor plate match.

This is a consignment firearm sold as described; no test firing was performed by the seller beyond standard function checks. Price is $1,619.99. View product details and pricing on the item page: View product details and pricing.
