ROBJEEP:
There are actually 2 models in this series. the model 170 and the 170C. As Jim describes the model 170, the 170C is similar to the 170 with the exception it is made in 30-30 only and has an 18 1/2" barrel. The "C" model was mfg'd from 1974-1981. Although there is not much differnce in the Values the 170C brings about $25.00 more in
top condition.
As for the scope, it is doubtful that that came with the rifle. Unless, "In my gunshow" days I would add a scope to a rifle
to enhance the sale.
