Condition report:
The metal finish on the barrel shows significant wear, with heavy paint or finish chipping and scattered scratches concentrated toward the muzzle. The receiver finish shows lighter handling marks and scattered scuffs. The walnut stock remains in good overall condition with scattered light scratches, small dings, and surface impressions consistent with field use. The recoil pad shows light wear and minor scuffing. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The bolt action appears to function correctly, though the mechanical safety and live-fire performance have not been independently verified. The Leupold optic displays clear glass and a functional zoom adjustment.
