Rating Definition:

Very good, retaining 90% plus reblued finish on the barrels, silvered case colors on the action and locks, some discoloration on the underside, and mild handling evidence. The stock is with scattered dings and scratches and areas of worn checkering. The extra barrels are very good with scratching and thinning. The case is fine. Mechanically excellent.
