Rating Definition:

Very good as reconfigured to sniper configuration, retaining some of the finish with scattered light edge wear, thinning on the balance with scattered visible brown and grey patina, some minor pitting, minor patches of spotting/freckling, and some mild handling marks. The stock is fine as sanded and re-oiled with scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The stock is very fine with clear optics.
