Excellent. Bore has some residues that should clean to Very Bright with sharp rifling throughout. Metal finish with some abrasions to the stock fittings, some brown flecking on the nosecap and pinpoint patina on butt. Some grease residues on the bolt components and internals. Stock retains clean lines with few light dents. Sling with some dust in pores and light stains on leather collars. Mechanically functional.
