Condition report:

The rifle is in good overall condition with the original blued finish showing minor surface wear and light handling marks. There are small areas of light oxidation and residue visible around the breech opening and on the bolt handle. The synthetic stock is well-preserved with only minor scuffs and the checkering remains crisp. The bore is not visible for inspection. The bolt action appears to function smoothly, though the firearm has not been test fired. The optic provides a clear sight picture and the reticle is intact.
