Introduced in 1977, The 99-358 commonly known as the Brush Gun has a straight grip, uncheckered stock, with a heavy beavertail forend and finger grooves. It has a 22" round tapered barrel, tang safety, gold plated cocking indicator, rotary magazine with shell counter, vivid case coloring on the lever, original front sight, folding rear sight and a thick, factory correct, recoil pad. It was drilled and tapped at the factory. Production ceased in 1980.
It has been fired, but the previous owner said it was less than a box of shells. There is no evidence that a scope has ever been mounted. There are insignificant marks to the bluing or the wood.
The rifle is about as nice as a fired rifle can be. I don't have the box.
The pictures hardly do this beautiful, 4-year production rifle justice.
Guns International had one listed (102496467) by Deweys that sold for $1,995 with condition not even close to mine. I'm asking the same price for a much nicer rifle.
