Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrel retains 80% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The frame retains strong traces of original blue finish in and around the protected areas with the balance a smooth brown patina. The lever and buttplate retain traces of original case colors with the strong case colors remaining on the breechblock. There is some mild pitting on the buttplate. The forearm is very fine with some minor dings and scratches. The replaced buttstock is oversized at the frame, otherwise very fine with some minor handling marks. The scope retains 95% thinning original blue finish with clear optics.
