Condition report:
The exterior blued finish on the barrel and receiver shows scattered areas of surface oxidation and light pitting, most notably along the length of the barrel and near the receiver junction. The bore condition was not physically inspected. The action appears to function correctly when cycled manually, though the rifle has not been test-fired. The tan polymer Choate stock is in good structural condition with minor scuffs, handling marks, and light surface dirt consistent with field use. The optics are clear, and the duplex reticle is intact.
