She wasn't my friend, very little use and excellent care. The bore is as shiny as a new out of the box Winchester.

About twelve years ago or so I went shooting and at the range met a gentleman shooting a gorgeous rifle. I struck up a conversation and he invited me to shoot a few rounds on her.
Fixed sights, military ball ammo. One ragged hole at 50 yards, literally one hole.
They had a four inch gong at the hundred yard range and I centered it four times in a row.
The older Gent looked at me and said "You can shoot". I knew it was the rifle. Never shot like that before with a military gun. Told him so.
He just smiled and said he does it once a month or so. See's someone who appreciates a great rifle and hands him a few rounds to try.
It was a Carl Gustaf model 96. Not quite as nice a shape as this one but the trigger action etc were unbelievable.
The trigger on mine is a two stage military but so smooth and precise you feel like a gunsmith spent a lot of time on it. Actually, that is what happened, in 1920, and his name is probably Sven. LOL
