Rating Definition:

Professionally embellished with 99% plus of the blue and grey coin finishes remaining. There are a couple of minor scratches and handling marks on the barrel. The stock is excellent with 99% original varnish remaining and showing a few overall scattered minor dings and handling marks, with sharp checkering. The scope is excellent with a few tiny dings and clear optics. The markings and engraving are sharp and clear. The sling is very good. The action is excellent.
