Excellent. The rifle retains 98% original high luster blue finish with some muzzle wear and thinning on the bolt handle. There is some spotted discoloration on the bolt. The stock is also excellent with a couple of light scratches and some pressure dents. The carving remains sharp. The markings are clear. The action is excellent. The scope has been changed since shipment and is excellent with clear optics. The case is very good.
