Condition report:

The blued finish on the barrel and receiver remains largely intact with some thinning observed on the bolt handle and high edges. The bolt body shows light surface oxidation and typical operational wear. The wood stock is in good condition with scattered light scratches and handling marks consistent with field use, but no visible cracks. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The bolt action appears to function correctly. The Hi-Lux optic exhibits clear glass and a functioning adjustment turrets.
