	This rifle appears to be a highly modified Stevens 1915 favorite. The receiver has been hot tank reblued. Color hardened cast steel usually turns a purple/bronze color after a hot tank reblue. Did someone modify an original Stevens Pope barrel to fit a favorite action? It's definitely not a 417 Stevens.

I’m skeptical on the barrel. Too small to be for an Ideal. The workmanship is pretty good to excellent in most regards. The tang sight is gooned up at a later date by some nit wit, but salvageable.
