    I asked about it a few days ago, https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=47454&page=31 and messaged the seller. His response was prompt and cordial. He stated,
    "This rifle was part of a shipment of M85s imported by Navy Arms, and was imported by them in the condition you see here.* *It came with the Schmidt&Bender scope that is on it now.* It was scored from an employee of Navy Arms… All marks on the rifle are shown in the pictures…* And that's all we know on this particular unit."

    At some point it appears to have been restocked.

    To be honest that is about right £8,000+, bearing in mind it had the chest etc with it. Did anybody on this site manage to acquire this fine rifle?

    I was going to make a run at it but it quickly climbed higher than I felt comfortable going. Looks like an excellent example!!
