Fine. The barrel retains 80% original blue finish with thinning to brown on the balance. The action retains 50% original case colors fading to a gray. The wood is also fine with a stress line at the receiver, minor dings and scratches and much of the original varnish remaining. The scope is a mixture of blue finish and brown patina and the optics are hazy. Mechanically excellent.
