Very fine. The rifle retains 95% original blue finish with some minor spotting, along with some bright wear on the bolt handle and one some of the edges. The extractor has a smooth dark brown patina. There is some deep pitting on the first barrel band, with some minor pitting on the the barrel. There is a repaired duffle bag cut on the forearm near the lower barrel band, otherwise the refinished wood is fine with a few minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
