Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 95% of the original blue, showing a few small areas of fading on top of the barrel, minor spotting near the frame, and scattered light handling marks. Stock is excellent, with light pressure dents concentrated around the action and on the buttstock. Scope is good, and the action is excellent. A scarce U.S. Model 70 in excellent condition.
