The scope is a fine scope and best for a .177's potential. Bit much/lump for a .22. Very correct for the time.

There are prettier rifles, but not many of this tune, and thats where the value, the history, the interesting part lies.
I agree it would be “sexier” as a tyro or thumbhole.

But that stock is a classic and elegantly functional - arguably better for field use than the above. It ought to shine up well with a bit of work to bring out the grain.
