Condition report:
The overall condition is fair to good, exhibiting significant signs of use and age. The blued finish on the barrel and receiver shows substantial wear, thinning throughout, and is marred by scattered light pitting and surface oxidation/rust, particularly noticeable on the barrel surface. The bolt body appears bright but shows operational wear. The action appears to function correctly, cycling and locking smoothly, though we have not function-tested this firearm with live ammunition. The hardwood stock is generally sound but displays numerous handling marks, scratches, and minor dings consistent with field use. The mounted BSA Classic scope appears clear with a duplex reticle visible, and the Weaver mounting hardware is secure. The included detachable box magazine shows heavy surface rust. An accessory pair of black scope lens caps connected by a cord is present. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
