Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 90% arsenal refinished blue finish with a few small patches of minor pitting visible underneath the finish. The arsenal refinished stock is fine with a few light handling marks, an arsenal repaired sliver visible on the left below the receiver, and defined edges with lightly visible stamps. Mechanically excellent. The scope and mount are very fine, with slightly hazy optics.
