Condition: Very good, with 95% blue on the refinished barrel. 50% case color on the action that’s turning brown. Sight appears to be a new replacement. Buttstock is excellent with near new checkering and finish. Forearm has been refinished, repaired, and glass bedded. This is a rare chambering for a late model Aydt that takes the thick Mauser rim cartridge. The old 9.5x47R cartridge was replaced by the newer small bore (8.15x46R) around the turn of the century.
