I've had this rifle about 30 years. It is nowhere near pristine but has a good barrel, most of its bluing and matching numbers. Compared to what is out there on the market today it is a cream puff. My brother and I took it out shooting in the National Forest south of Sandpoint (ID) last Sunday, instead of going to church.

It has the original front sight, so you have to aim low to get on the paper. I might try to find a taller blade for it. It should be quite accurate. The Gewehr 98 that is its stablemate surely is, once the barrel gets hot, shot after shot practically crowd together
around the POA

Both rifles are shooters, and good ones.
