Condition report:
The rifle is in good used condition. The matte black finish on the metal surfaces shows light surface scratches and minor thinning on the barrel and receiver. The bolt action appears to function correctly and the jeweling remains bright. The black synthetic stock exhibits light handling marks and scuffing consistent with regular use. The Simmons scope has clear optics and the duplex reticle is intact. The bore was not inspected but the overall exterior condition suggests the firearm has been well maintained.
