    I blew up and clipped the photo from the auction.Attachment 133873

    Please check out the photos in my above post (the one with the one with the green stock is the rifle in question).

    I put photos of stripped m85 actions and a stripped m84/86/87 action in my previous post.Attachment 133864
    - please check out the surface irregularities under the scope at the rear where the wings should be.

    Comparison of the length of the front receiver ring dove tail confirms that the action in question is an m85.
