Very fine. The rifle retains 85% original blue finish showing a smooth gray patina on the trigger guard and speckling of patina on the floor plate. The top of the bolt has been ground and left bright to accept the scope. The stock is also very fine with some scattered minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The scope has clear optics.
