Condition report:
The overall condition is good, consistent with regular field use. The original blued finish retains approximately 80-85% coverage, showing noticeable wear, thinning, and handling marks, particularly on the receiver bridge and the edges of the floorplate. The bolt body is bright. The wood stock exhibits numerous cosmetic scratches, dings, and pressure marks across the high-gloss finish, though the checkering remains defined. The Monte Carlo comb shows some finish loss near the buttplate. The bore appears bright with strong rifling, though we have not performed a detailed internal inspection. The bolt action appears to function correctly, cycling and locking smoothly. The Bushnell scope optics are clear and the duplex reticle is intact. The faux suppressor is in excellent cosmetic condition. We have not function-tested this firearm with live ammunition. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
