Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrel retains approximately 97% original blue finish with some scattered light spotting, along with limited light pitting near the muzzle. The receiver, bolt, floor plate and trigger guard retain approximately 70% case colors with the balance a smooth gray patina. The reoiled stock is very fine with a few minor dings and scratches. Buttplate has a couple hairline cracks and some material loss on the toe. There is some minor bruising in the overall crisp checkering. The scope optics are cloudy and need cleaning.
