Very good as custom made, with 95% of the blue finish, showing a mixed rough patina on the bolt handle and some light handling marks overall. The stock is good with some spotting of the varnish and light dents. The left side upper edge of the forend is chipped off. Optics are slightly hazy but otherwise good. Mechanically very good.
