Very good as refinished, 90% plus of the blue finish remains on the barreled action with some scattered spots of cleaned oxidation, some scattered minor scratches and some minor high edge wear. The receiver bridge has an extra drilled and tapped hole that is not visible with the scope base installed. The refinished aluminum floor plate and trigger guard retain most of the black anodized finish with some wear and minor scratches. The poorly checkered replacement stock is also excellent with some scattered minor scratches and dings. Mechanically very good with the safety not locking the bolt handle.
