The wood seems tight, but has some flaws. If I remember it had some chips in the forarm. The buttstock looks like it has been repaired in 2 places. When you hold it to the light you can see abit of light between the watertable and the flats. and there is slight movement in the action. It has been a couple of months since I've seen it so my memory is abit fuzzy. I did like the long barrels, It balanced nice.
