Very fine. The rifle retains 85% original blue finish showing some thinning to a gray with some minor pitting (mostly on the receiver). The forearm and buttplate have a very attractive patina. The stock is fine with some minor pressure dents and scratches and non-factory swivels added. Mechanically fine.
