Condition report:
The rifle retains much of its original blued finish, with thinning and wear visible on the barrel toward the muzzle and on the bolt handle. There are areas of light surface oxidation on the barrel and around the scope mounts. The black synthetic stock shows moderate handling wear, including various scratches, scuffs, and surface marks throughout. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The bolt action appears to function smoothly, and the three-position safety and trigger operate as intended, though the rifle has not been test-fired.
