Very fine. The rifle retains 97% original blue finish showing some scuffs on top of the receiver and a faint plum patina on the floor plate. Modified bolt with the handle polished bright. The reoiled stock is very fine with much of the finish remaining and a few minor handling marks. Overall the checkering is crisp. Mechanically excellent.
