The book says an 88 is 71 pounds. My back says it's more.
There were over 200 variations, but they changed the model numbers of several, so 200 may be high.
The 970 series are the best ones for durability and usefulness. Those were all swivel base model with hex wrench swivel lock handles.
Make sure there isn't a crack on the top of the stock, running fore and aft; very common. Always check that the jaws close up parallel.
