The wood and metal surfaces remain highly attractive and reflect careful ownership and preservation. Of particular note, the bore is exceptionally clean with strong, sharp rifling and outstanding overall appearance. Finding a Mauser 66 Deluxe with a bore in this condition is increasingly uncommon and further enhances its desirability among both collectors and shooters.
