Rating Definition:

Excellent. The rifle retains 98% original blue finish with some thinning and wear at the muzzle and a few minor scratches. There is some edge wear on the trigger guard. The receiver retains 95% original case colors with some areas fading to gray. The wood is also excellent with a few light handling marks and sharp checkering. The markings and engraving are clear. Mechanically excellent.
