Condition report:
The stainless steel barrel and receiver show a bright appearance with some areas of minor surface oxidation and light freckling, particularly visible around the receiver and breech opening. The synthetic stock with Realtree Hardwoods camouflage is in good condition with minor handling marks and scuffs consistent with field use. The bore condition has not been inspected. The bolt and striker action appear to function correctly, and the optics provide a clear sight picture with a standard duplex reticle. The rubber recoil pad remains intact with light wear.
