Excellent. The rifle retains 95% original blue finish showing some thinning to a brown and some minor edge wear. The stock is fine with some minor dings and scratches, along with a series of minor pressure dings on the buttstock (right side). Overall the checkering is crisp. The case is very good with minor wear on the canvas and green felt lining. The accessories are fine.
