Especially for $150. Picked this one up at the Louisville show. Looks like it was hanging on a wall for years as the bolt has taken on a great natual goldish looking patina. Mixed numbers as most are, no pitting, and a great looking bore. Couldn't wait to get it home to clean it. But after I did, and that patina on the bolt looks so good, (the photos don't do it justice), that I now have mixed emotions about removing it.
The other metal still has about 98% bluing so I will brighten that up with a little oil.
I reload cast bullets for these rifles so it will be going to the range with it next week.
