Condition report:
The firearm is in good used condition. The blued finish on the barrel and receiver remains largely intact, showing minor surface scratches and faint wear on the high edges. The walnut stock and forend retain a high-gloss finish, with scattered dings and light scratches consistent with field use. The basket-weave checkering remains crisp and well-defined. The action appears to function correctly through manual cycling, though we have not function-tested this firearm with live ammunition. The Bushnell optic displays clear glass and a sharp reticle; the Lite-Site battery-powered illumination feature has not been tested. The Pachmayr recoil pad and leather sling are in good condition with minor signs of age and wear.
