The gun almost could pass as new, a few tiny dings in the stock and approximately 98% blueing. The bore is a perfect 10.
The scope has external adjustments and has been very precise in making minor POA adjustments. The adjustable forward objective make parallax a non issue and the scope is a clear as modern examples.
I enjoy group shooting and this rifle as been a hoot. To date, the rifle is averaging .188" 50 yard groups, measured center to center in 9 separate groups. Ammo has been German made SK. Included is a picture of some shot this week.
Winchester really knew how to build a quality product that are still competitive accuracy wise with today's rifles....even one like this that is 78 years old.
But...............a nice bolt action. 
Are not many of those pre-wars around, even here in the east. And to find one with condition is something else too. I never did own one but have shot my share as my bud likes them and Model 37 Rems.
