Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally assembled and finished with 98% of the high polish deep blue finish remaining. Displaying mostly light handling marks overall, brilliant jewelling on the bolt and follower and some light cycling marks. The stock is also very fine with attractive grain, rich color, and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The scope is excellent with clear optics.
