My brother has one. Decent accuracy. Nice rifle. I assume you have had it out of the stock to make sure you don't have rust below the stock line? Weren't those the ones that had salt in the stocks? My brother's stock finish started to craze all over with tiny cracks and since I hate that thick finish anyway I re finished it for him. It's one gorgeous piece of wood.
I'm not one for collectors so wouldn't care one way or the other if it had a few character marks.
