Excellent. The rifle retains 99% of the blue finish with some very light handling marks. The wood is excellent with a few very light handling marks, a couple of minor dings and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Unable to remove one scope dust cover. The accessories are excellent. The case is fine with a few edge marks and a couple of minor scratches on the top. The interior lining shows some light wear with the lid lining partially detached.
