Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, retains 99% blue finish with a few scattered light handling marks, some very light wear at the muzzle, and a bright patch at the top of the bolt handle. The wood is excellent with a few scattered light dings and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. There is some light wear visible on the otherwise very fine scope and the optics are clear. Provenance: The Tom Selleck Collection
