Approx. 80%-85% thinning and toning blue remains, with scattered light scuffs and scratches. Factory lettering is clear. Stock shows age and wear that is consistent with the overall rifle condition. There are scattered predominantly smaller sized surface dents and scratches, and the stock was likely re-oiled, does not appear to have been done recently. There are a few flat spots to the forend checkering, otherwise the detail shows little wear. Action cycles smoothly; bore is bright with very nice, defined rifling. Scope is excellent with bright, clear optics. Est.: $1,500-$2,000. (C&R)
