Bore is excellent. Barrel is fitted with a single standing rear sight engraved 100 yds and inlaid with platinum center line. Wood is very good showing a few handling marks, typical for the age of the rifle. The steel butt plate is finished with a pleasing rounded peak at the heel, rather than the typical pointed widow's peak.
