Lever Gun Appraisal

Lever-Action Rifle with Scope and Soft Case

The item is a lever-action rifle, likely a hunting or sporting rifle, resting on a black padded soft rifle case. The rifle features a classic design with a blued steel finish on the barrel and receiver, exhibiting some reflectivity. The furniture, comprising the forend and buttstock, is crafted from wood, possibly walnut, with a reddish-brown hue and a visible grain pattern. The wood appears to be in relatively good condition with some minor scuffs or handling marks consistent with moderate use, but no significant cracks or deep scratches are immediately apparent. The buttstock features a rubber recoil pad, black in color, indicating a focus on user comfort during shooting. A notable feature is the presence of an attached optical scope, mounted on top of the receiver, suggesting precision shooting capability. The scope itself is black, with visible adjustment turrets, and appears to be of standard rifle scope construction. The lever mechanism underneath the receiver is discernible, defining its action type. The overall condition appears to be good for a used firearm, with no drastic corrosion or heavy wear visible on the metallic components. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced firearm, likely from the mid to late 20th century, given the style of the wood stock and the presence of a modern recoil pad. There are no distinct maker's marks or serial numbers visible in the image to provide more specific manufacturing details.
