The action is tight, the interior near excellent. The engraving is absolutely factory and well accomplished with scrolls and banner on left and inscribed with the name “Clinton White”. On the right side the Marlin shows a leaping stag on and on the bolt shows a small vignette of stag head. The tang is mounted with a Lyman type tang sight. Clinton L.
