Rating Definition:

Refinished barrels with 98% of the finish remaining. The receiver has a smooth gray patina with crisp clear engraving. The wood has been refinished and re-checkered. There is a minor crack repair in the forearm, a few minor dings overall and some minor insect damage on the buttplate. The scope is excellent with clear optics. The mechanics are fine.
