With the leaves turning, and the bulls bugling, this will be an unforgettable hunt- there is even an option to obtain a mule-deer tag.

This VHE is in excellent all-original condition with more than 50% remaining case-color and excellent bluing on 26" barrels chambered in IM/IM. Bores are bright and shiny with no pitting. The stock is in excellent condition with few handling marks and crisp checkering. The engraving shield in the stock is unmarked.
