This gun is as close to being new as it gets. It's never had any of the pins drifted out of it. No backwoods trigger work has been done to it. No tricks or mods done to the forearm. Never been mishandled in any way. The action locks up just as it did new and as long as you don't slam it shut, it'll stay that way for a very long time. There are no blems, scratches, nicks, dings, rubs, rust, or bluing missing on any part of the gun. I've never hunted with it. It's only been out of the house on a few sunny days at the range. It likes 117gr SST's and loves 117gr HotCor's. Both under 1" at 100yds.
