Metal parts retain essentially all of an exceptionally well done, correctly polished, immersion blue. Rear sight, bolt stop and takedown lever have been correctly heat blued, set triggers straw. Stock correctly refinished with oil, checkering nicely re-cut. There are a few marks in wood since refinish. Except for checkering being sharper, and better, than factory, this rifle looks almost original. Bore is excellent, bright and shiny throughout, as re-bored and re-chambered. Scope retains nearly all of a brown finish with most orig lacquer intact on elevation adjusters, and lens retaining rings. Optics are very slightly clouded, and still quite usable. Consignor states rifle feeds flawlessly, and is very accurate. 4-45106 MGM222 (3,000-5,000)
