It's a 1931 Tikka M27 in very fine condition with perfect mirror bore, crisp & light Finn trigger (Nicest one I've ever felt) nice deep blue & excellent stock. Haven't taken it apart yet but that will have to wait a bit. previous owner stated he could get Quarter sized groupings at 100yds with Surplus ammo... I can't wait to test that out at the range.
I have an M39, some Finn capture 91/30s' & Dragoon, a Tikka 91/30 & Finn M91 already... I have been impressed with the quality of these pieces but none of them are near as nice as this M27. I now see why so many of you praise these so much. 8)
A few photos of this fine Finn...

If they refinished it, they must have been gentle with it. Doesn't look like they got carried away and the expected dings are not ruined. I think it looks awesome.

One of the reasons I got it. It wasn't a bad refinish & the price was right coming in under $300.
