The Scarce Perry Sporting is a used antique sporting rifle of approximately .40 caliber. The supplier rates it very fine, with about 90 percent of the original brown finish left on the barrel and a grey patina on the frame. The wood is rated excellent and the bore very fine. It retains its magazine capper, a spring-loaded piece in the butt stock that places a cap on the nipple when the gun is cocked, a feature the supplier says is almost always missing.

Collectors of antique sporting rifles will value the retained capper and the original barrel finish, so this one suits display and collecting more than modern shooting. The capper and the original barrel finish are the points a buyer will verify with the dealer on pickup.
